Folks:
I updated the MESSENGER xyz from Horizons earlier this year. At Cham's suggestion, I've now placed the updated file on the Motherlode, zipped together with Cham's excellent MESSENGER model and an improved ssc which keeps MESSENGER's sunshade and instrument platform orientated approximately correctly. You can find the package here.
