The significant advances made by the Mariner-Venus-Mercury 1973 project include the gravity-assist fly-by of a second planet from the deflected trajectory induced by a primary target, TV views of Venus, investigation of Mercury, the planetary re-visit on a fly-by profile, and effective manipulation of real-time planning (using solar-sailing to effect attitude stabilization). The flight of Mariner 10 is described from June 6, 1974, when the spacecraft had moved around the sun to superior conjunction and the dual S-band and X-band radio signals from the high-gain antenna passed within 1.67 deg of the solar surface as viewed from earth, until the conclusion of the operational phase on March 24, 1975. The second and third Mercury encounters, allowed a full frontal scan of the sunlit side plus slant-angle examination of the south pole and transmitted images of 60% of the total surface area of Mercury.
