Why Wait? To explore a planet, we often send first a flyby, then an orbiter, then a probe or a lander. There’s no doubt that probes and landers give the most close-up detail, so why don’t we send this type of mission first? For the planet of your choice, based just on the information in this chap- ter, give an example of why such a strategy might cause a mission to provide incomplete information about the planet or to fail outright.
You are elected as the chief engineer of a project to explore the whole Solar System. Your aim is to design, manufacture and run
a satellite -or-
a device -or-
a spaceship -or-
"something"
that will travel to each planet in the solar system, explore it and then send the data gained back to Earth.
What points you consider as important stages of the project?
What kind of travel method(s) you would use to cover whole solar system?
How are you going to send back the data you gathered during the exploration?
