Talk:Exploration of Mercury

original author
I am a college student writing this page as a research project. This draft was only put up as a lesson in style of Wikipedia. Please wait before editing or deleting this page. I will post the entire article including citations before Monday. Thank you.Sullivja 13:52, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Here is my completed document. I am sorry for a few Wiki style issues. I am approaching finals and I do not have time to link this file as is appropriate. Could someone help me out with that. Also I am unsure on how to do the licensing on the photos. Furthermore, I would like to note that Mariner 10, MESSENGER, and BepiColumbo need to be linked to the main article Sullivja 08:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)sullivja

One last note is that I am not 100% sure that my refrences are in wikipedia style. If these need work please guide me in the direction I need to take them in order to have them correct. Thank you. Sullivja 09:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)sullivja

Mercury Observer
We should have a section on the cancelled Mercury Observer spacecraft. 132.205.44.5 04:27, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Also the non-selected Discovery program project Mercury Polar Flyby 132.205.99.122 22:06, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Missing objective
BepiColumbo is stated to have 12 objective. Only 11 are listed following.TeigeRyan (talk) 17:24, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Contradicted many of these observations from earth
"Before Mariner 10, it was thought that the planet simply revolved around the sun in a highly elliptical orbit.[3] The planet had been observed through ground-based telescopes, and scientists felt that they were able to draw a great many inferences from such observations. Mariner 10 provided data that contradicted many of these.[2]"

This should be reworked by someone who understands what these contradictions were, and the article should mention there how these contradictions were resovled. --Paul Pot (talk) 10:39, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
