Livermore scientists contribute to NASA Mercury Messenger mission

A team of scientists and engineers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, in collaboration with University of California Berkeley's Space Science Laboratory and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, have designed and built a high resolution gamma-ray detector that will enable NASA's Mercury Messenger to measure the elemental composition of the planet's crust.   

NASA's first trip to Mercury in 30 years - and the closest look ever at the innermost planet - successfully launched on Aug. 3 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is operated by the University of California.
