In spaceflight jargon it means when a spacecraft or satellite passes close enough to an object in space (typically a celestial body, such as a planet) to gather scientific data without orbiting or landing on the object.

What is the difference between a flyby spacecraft and an orbiter?
The main difference between a flyby spacecraft and an orbiter is the guidance computer programming: which causes a flyby to go by the planet and take pictures and other readings allowed in the limited time of the single pass, while an orbiter is captured into an orbit about the planet where it has a much longer period to take pictures and other readings.
What is the primary reason why Pluto flyby mission would be cheaper than a Pluto orbiter?

How can a spacecraft go?
It depends on what kind of spacecraft we're talking about. There's this type of spacecraft called 'Flyby' Spacecraft. Flyby Spacecrafts are those who cannot observe distant objects. They would just flyby planets, asteroids, or whatever, and avoid being caught by a planet's magnetic field, or orbit. Please be more specific :)
