Susie Slavney Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 MESSENGER Release 6 data are now online. After more than six years, one Earth flyby, two Venus flybys, and three Mercury flybys, MESSENGER entered Mercury's orbit in March 2011. This release includes the first two months' worth of orbital data. MESSENGER instruments include the Gamma Ray and Neutron Spectrometers, X-Ray Spectrometer, Laser Altimeter, the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer (UV, visible, and IR spectra), the Magnetometer, the Energetic Particle and Plasma Spectrometer, the Mercury Dual Imaging System (wide angle and narrow angle cameras for imaging the surface), the Radio Science experiment, and SPICE kernels.
