NASA probe Messenger

For the first time, a vehicle from Earth orbits around Mercury. Messanger Started on August 3rd 2004 and after 7.9 billion kilometers / 4,9 billion miles it successfully achieved orbit around Mercury at approximately 9 p.m. EDT Thursday.

Here you can find two kits for a papercraft MESSENGER . Just click "PDF of scale model" for a simple, or "Try this advanced scale model!" for a more advanced model.

If you want to know more about MESSENGER, read here.

Godspeed!
