They have an update
http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/news_room/details.php?id=110 Here's a relevant bit from it: At a little after 4:40 a.m. EDT, MESSENGER skimmed 200 kilometers (124 miles) above the surface of Mercury . . . Initial indications from the radio signals indicate that the spacecraft continues to operate nominally. The first pictures from the flyby will be released around 10:00 a.m. on October 7, 2008. --Greg |
