So I've just started the game, trying to learn what I can through trial and error. However, I have a question about my Geology team. I'm trying to unload them from my Scout/Geology vessel onto Mercury. Yet it doesn't seem to allow me to do so. Is my ship missing a component? For example, am I supposed to build some sort of smaller landing shuttle or equip the team with protective suits?
