Farewell MESSENGER!
Final impact was calculated just north of Shakespeare Basin. For Final Image details click pic below Image size: approx 1 kilometer. Resolution: approx 2.1 meters/pixel Details of Top 10 Science Results and Top 10 Technology Innovations Ice in your craters, ion spalling from the surface potentially due to "plasma tornadoes"... You were cooler and hotter than we thought. See you soon with Bepi-Columbo, hopefully. All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand. |

I appreciate the thoughtful posts on this mission Curiousuburb and can't believe almost 10 years have passed since this thread started!

It's amazing, isn't it? I was there for the launch, courtesy of a buddy who was on the team.
And now, it has firmly completed its lithobraking procedure. |

You are a shining light in the dim, dark universe, 'burb. Thanks for your constant amazing updates. Close to a 10 year thread! That's gotta be a record.
Now get your butt over to the New Horizons thread. So it goes. |

You guys wait until the JWST launches. I'm going to pwn that thread. Been looking forward to it for years and it will be a little nerve-racking as the orbit is way the hell out there beyond where servicing missions can go.
