August 3, 2004 was
launched interplanetary station "Messenger". Its aim was to study the
closest planet to the Sun, Mercury. The unit flew to the hot planet 7 years,
and only in 2011 it entered the orbit. For two years in orbit, he was able to
do a lot of images of Mercury's surface, collected and handed over a huge
amount of information on the Earth. Powerful Space probe "Messenger"
is equipped with a dual-mode camera, spectrometers, four species, altimeter,

MESSENGER sees the smooth side of Mercury
During the two years of
its location in orbit around Mercury, NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft has made
more than 150,000 images of the planet closest to the Sun, the solar system,
first giving us the opportunity to think about the extremely rough, parched
surface of the planet in feature. But not all areas on Mercury look stern and
sinister: it also has a smooth side, you can see on the picture, published
today.
Here we see the smooth
sides and bottom Mercurian irregular depressions in high definition.
