The MESSENGER spacecraft is the first ever to orbit the planet
Mercury, and the spacecraft's seven scientific instruments and radio science investigation are unraveling the history and evolution of the Solar System's innermost planet. In the mission's more than four years of orbital operations,

This enhanced color mosaic shows (from left to right) Munch (61 km/38 mi.), Sander (52 km/32 mi.), and Poe (81 km/50 mi.) craters, which lie in the northwest portion of the
Caloris basin. The smooth volcanic plains that fill the Caloris basin appear orange in this image. All three craters are

These images were acquired as high-resolution targeted color observations. Targeted color observations are images of a small area on
Mercury's surface at resolutions higher than the 1-kilometer/pixel 8-color base map. During MESSENGER's one-year primary mission, hundreds of targeted color

MESSENGER has acquired over 250,000 images and extensive other data sets. MESSENGER's highly successful orbital mission is about to come to an end, as the spacecraft runs out of propellant and the force of solar gravity causes it to impact the surface of
Mercury in April 2015.

observations were obtained. During MESSENGER's extended mission, high-resolution targeted color observations are more rare, as the 3-color base map is covering
Mercury's northern hemisphere with the highest-resolution color images that are possible.
