What visited Jupiter in 1973?

A space probe named Pioneer 10. Which went on to be the first human made object to escape from the Solar System.


Did pioneer 10 leave your solar system?

yes


Was Pioneer 1 the first man made object to leave the solar system?

There has never been a man made object to leave the Solar System. There are however, two objects which may escape the influence of Sol and enter the interstellar medium. These objects are the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft. It is currently unknown which will leave the system first, as although Voyager 1 was launched first, peculiarities of the nature of the Solar System may mean that Voyager 2 breaks the heliosphere first.


Will it be possible in principle for the earth to escape from the solar system?

yes it will be possible in fact the earth will escape the solar system in 2020 when the earth does this we will have 0 gravity also everyone has to wear a skirt on there bday or you will be upset


Can a supernova create the solar system?

Yes. In fact our Solar System formed because of a supernova explosion. It was the impetus that was needed to get the gaseous clouds to start the initial rotation.


What makes Jupiter so massive?

Jupiter, through the solar system's constant rotation, gathered mass from particles in space during the initial stages of our solar system's creation.


When did pioneer 10 explore Jupiter?

Pioneer 10 was launched in 1972 to explore the solar system. It arrived at Jupiter in December of 1973. The final signal received from Pioneer 10 was in 2003 when it was many millions of miles away from Jupiter.


What is the longest time ever spent in space?

Pioneer-10, launched in 1977, was the first spacecraft to escape the solar system, after flying by Jupiter. Both Voyager-1 and -2 continued out of the solar system after completing their observation missions. Voyager-1 overtook Pioneer-10 in 1998 to become the most distant human-made object in space. Signals from both spacecraft are still being received on earth, although NASA budget-cutbacks threaten to eliminate the monitoring programs.


Was voyager a waste of time and money?

I don't think so. We learned a lot about our Solar System with Voyager, Pioneer, and similar projects.


If the object is travelling along a hyperbolic path to the sun where and how does it come from and go to?

This suggest that the object is coming from outside the Solar System - and if it doesn't get "trapped" by some planet or something, it will escape the Solar System again.


Can an intercontinental ballistic missile reach escape velocity?

Yes. Probes have already be sent to the Moon, and other planets; this requires a velocity very near the escape velocity from Earth. Other probes are leaving the Solar System, so they achieved the much higher escape velocity required to escape the attraction from the Sun.


What is the name of the first space shuttle sent from earth?

Pioneer 10 was the first spacecraft to venture to the edge of the solar system. Hope I could help! :) :)
