Messenger spacecraft at Mercury
Messenger spacecraft at Mercury, computer artwork. The Messenger spacecraft is due to be launched during a 13-day window from 2 August 2004. It will enter orbit around Mercury in March 2011, after first performing three fly-bys of the planet to map its surface and study its composition. The spacecraft is equipped with an array of scientific instruments, and has solar panels (black) for power generation. The 3.6-metre-long boom carries a magnetometer (lower right) that will be used to map Mercurys magnetic field and search for magnetized rocks in the planets crust. A sunshade (white) protects the spacecraft from the intense heat of the Sun

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the Messenger spacecraft at Mercury, capturing the essence of scientific exploration in space. Scheduled for launch within a 13-day window starting on August 2nd, 2004, this state-of-the-art spacecraft embarked on an extraordinary mission to unravel the mysteries of our neighboring planet. Equipped with an impressive array of scientific instruments and powered by sleek solar panels, the Messenger spacecraft is a testament to human technological prowess. Its primary objective was to meticulously map Mercury's surface and study its composition through three fly-bys before entering orbit around the planet in March 2011. The photograph highlights a significant component of this groundbreaking craft - a remarkable boom measuring 3.6 meters long. Attached to it is a magnetometer located in the lower right corner, designed specifically to map Mercury's magnetic field and search for magnetized rocks hidden beneath its crust. To shield itself from the scorching heat emitted by our Sun, which intensifies exponentially closer to Mercury's proximity, the Messenger spacecraft features a protective sunshade depicted as white in this image. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring illustration created by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity and relentless pursuit of knowledge about our vast universe. This image encapsulates both cutting-edge technology and mankind's unyielding desire for discovery as we continue exploring new frontiers beyond Earth’s boundaries.
