MESSENGER2011

  1. I have been in space more than 1960 days with over a year and 2 months before I go in orbit around Mercury.
  2. Here's the press release about the global Mercury map. http://tinyurl.com/y876my5
  3. So much cool stuff occurring at #agu09. I hear that LRO has been presenting results too.
  4. My team has just released a map of Mercury taken over my 3 flybys. Check it out: http://tinyurl.com/ydold82
  5. I completed my fifth and final deep-space maneuver today, making the expected velocity change to put me on course to orbit Mercury in 3/2011
  6. Only ~ 15 months to go before I go into orbit around Mercury.
  7. Have you seen the latest true and enhanced color images of Mercury? Check out: http://tinyurl.com/yapfmdm
  8. @skyponderer Mercury is the only place that has them.
  9. I can't wait to tell the world about the geological history of Mercury. Craters. Rilles. Lobate Scarps. Expansion areas. Oh MY!!
  10. Did you know that Mercury has had been mapped completely around the equator. This will help the scientists when I go into orbit in 2011.

  14. @Fox4649 AU is not necessarily useful for distances from Sun. This is what the scientists are using to describe distances for MESSENGER
  15. I'm currently greater than 1.43 AU from Earth. I'll be the farthest away on Nov 20, @ 1.54 AU.
  16. Good Morning. I'm so excited that my Science Team will be meeting this week. I wonder what exciting new things will be discussed.
  17. My NASA Science Update with Mercury Flyby 3 Results that was suppose to be today, has been rescheduled for November 3, 2009, 1 pm EDT.
  18. To all of my Museum Alliance Friends: Check out the telecon tomorrow on my third flyby @ 10:30-11:30 PDT (1:30-2:30 EDT).
  19. On October 22, 2009, 1 pm EDT: NASA Science Update with Mercury Flyby 3 Results. Stay tune for details.
