Scientific paper

MESSENGER is a MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging mission to orbit the planet Mercury for one Earth year following two flybys of that planet and two flybys of Venus. Here we point out the major science questions about Mercury that will be addressed by measurements from seven major instruments on the spacecraft along with the radio tracking. The Science Team for the mission is presented along with each team member's responsibilities showing the wide range of expertise necessary to accomplish the mission objectives. Methods of participation in the mission by members of the scientific community not on the Science Team and not otherwise associated with the mission are indicated.
