The Messenger Spacecraft which has orbited Mercury since March 2011 is running out of fuel.
It is going to crash into the planet sometime this spring – possibly around the end of April.
The Messenger team keep tweaking the orbit by using methods such as creating additional thrust by squirting cold pressurised Helium through the thrusters to raise the orbit. However this will only delay the inevitable crash whose exact time remains uncertain.
