Introduction The MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft, under NASA's Discovery Program, will be the first probe to orbit the planet Mercury. Launched in August 2004, MESSENGER is midway through a complex interplanetary cruise phase that involves six planetary flybys. The first of three flybys of Mercury, on 14 January 2008, marked the first time that a spacecraft visited the innermost planet since the Mariner 10 encounters of 1974-1975. Here we give an overview of the observations made during the flyby and their scientific implications for Mercury.
