   Leaving Mercury behind, the spacecraft looped around the Sun and headed back to its target, helped along by subsequent course corrections May 9, May 10 and July 2, 1974. Mariner 10 flew by Mercury once more on at 20:59 UT Sept. 21, 1974, at a range of about 29,869 miles (48,069 kilometers), adding imagery of the southern polar region.

   Jan 6, 2022 · The vehicle’s first planetary encounter was with Venus on 3 November 1973. Mariner 10 took some 4,000 photos of Venus, which revealed a nearly round planet enveloped in smooth cloud layers. The Venus flyby deflected Mariner 10’s trajectory towards Mercury, which it flew past at 756 km altitude on 29 March 1974.

   The 10 Mariners visited Venus, Mars and Mercury for the first time, and later returned to Venus and Mars for a closer look. The final mission in the series, Mariner 10, flew past Venus before going on to Mercury for a total of three flybys. Mariner 9 became the first spacecraft to orbit another planet when it reached Mars in 1971.

   When did Mariner 10 fly?

   • With Mariner 10 set to fly on Nov. 3, 1973, in the event of disaster the spare had to be ready to go no later than Nov. 21. Meanwhile, Italian physicist Giuseppe Colombo suggested that Mariner 10’s trajectory following its March 1974 encounter of Mercury would permit a second flyby of the planet six months later.

   Could Mariner 10 make a second flyby of mercury?

   • Meanwhile, Italian physicist Giuseppe Colombo suggested that Mariner 10’s trajectory following its March 1974 encounter of Mercury would permit a second flyby of the planet six months later. That layered greater complexity onto an already complex mission but carried the potential to greatly expand the scientific yield from an unknown world.
