MESSENGER Takes First Picture While in Mercury's Orbit
Loading...
Uploaded by NASAtelevision on Mar 30, 2011
The MESSENGER spacecraft captured its first image of Mercury since entering the planet's orbit. The picture was of previously unseen terrain near the small, rocky planet's south pole. The snapshot is part of the "checkout phase" conducted for the spacecraft that'll include its taking around 75,000 images of Mercury's surface. Full operations to study the planet's geology, formation and history are scheduled to begin April 4.

Majel Barret is no longer with us. She passed away recently so she couldn't do the voice.

@bootstomp2010 NASA produces too many of these video to have Majel do the voices. I don't think she has the time, even if she wanted to. But you are right she does sound a lot like Majel.
