Interplanetary Missions - Page 4

Interplanetary missions refer to space exploration endeavors that involve sending spacecraft from Earth to other planets in our solar system. These missions aim to study the planets, moons, asteroids, or comets, and gather data about their composition, atmospheres, geology, and potential for supporting life. Interplanetary missions can be orbiters, landers, or rovers, each designed with specific scientific objectives and instruments. They provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of the solar system, contribute to our understanding of planetary processes, and may help in the search for extraterrestrial life. Such missions often require advanced technology, long-duration travel, and international collaboration. Examples include NASA's Mars rovers, the European Space Agency's missions to various celestial bodies, and interplanetary probes like Voyager and New Horizons.
