The Sandwich Mission In The Milky Way

The comet Mission In The Milky Way we live in, there are comets,planets,stars that surround us. But have you tried seeing them up close? Well in the passage,“A Space Mission” by Cameron Keady talks about scientists from the European Space Agency launching a spacecraft on to a comet to see up close. There is also the “America’s New Spacecraft” by Cameron Keady where it talks about a space program named NASA where they launch a spacecraft to test the capabilities of launching a real person. But out of the two passages, the most successful was the “A Space Mission”. In the text “A Space Mission”, their strength of success was launched. Because in the other mission they kept finding technical difficulties like in paragraph 9,“Liftoff! NASA called …show more content…

This shows that it was faster for Rossetta, the spacecraft in the first passage, to successfully make it to its goal. Another reason the Rossetta spacecraft was more successful was because of the information it gathered. In paragraph 5 it states,“What we believe is that we will study the most primitive material in the solar system”, this states that Rosetta actually landed and got up close images of the comet unlike Orion which it didn’t land and got up close images of Mars. This shows that Rosetta landed and got more clear and up close images. However, some people who support Orion’s mission may think it will be more helpful to mankind. Which I do agree with, as it says in paragraph 14,”Orion’s voyage is an experimental mission, with no astronauts onboard. The goal of the mission is to someday take astronauts to Mars.” But, it’s 2024 and we still haven’t found a way to get mankind on Mars yet. Which leads to my next point, the accomplishment. In paragraph 4 where it says “Philae separated from Rosetta about 14 miles above the comet”, this shows it traveled 14 miles to reach its
