All of Mercury
The robotic MESSENGER spacecraft spent seven years mapping Mercury. From 2008 to 2015, it orbited the innermost planet, sending back data that allowed us to see its entire surface for the first time. The mission ended with a controlled crash into Mercury itself, leaving a legacy of detailed observations.
