What else can I help you with?
Does it cost money to activate flybys cards?
No Honey No.
What info has been collected by the flybys and space probes?
To give you an idea: Some of the information and pictures taken by flybys and space probes that was received 6, 7, 8 years ago is still being analyzed! Robot ships ("flybys and space probes") are by far the biggest "bang for the buck" of anything NASA has ever spent the money on - they have contributed tremendously to our knowledge of our solar system and our universe. And, they have created a lot of new questions for scientists - which is exactly what's supposed to happen.
Has there been flybys by Saturn?
yes, voyager 1, voyager 2, Cassini Huygens
What are flybys disadvantages?
Flybys can provide valuable data with relatively low cost and rapid execution but also have several disadvantages. One major limitation is that they offer only brief encounters with the target, which restricts the amount of data that can be collected. Additionally, the spacecraft's high speed during the flyby can make it challenging to capture detailed images or conduct in-depth analyses. Lastly, flybys typically rely on precise navigation and timing, making any errors potentially detrimental to mission success.
Have any robots or satellites arrived at Mercury?
Yes. So far two unmanned spacecraft have visited Mercury. Mariner 10 made several flybys of Mercury in 1974 and 1975. MESSENGER made several flybys of Mercury in 2008 and 2009 before entering orbit around Mercury in 2011 where it remained until it was allowed to crash into the surface in 2013.
When will messenger reach Mercury?
The original plan called for three fly-by maneuvers past Venus, with Mercury orbit insertion scheduled for 2009. The new trajectory features one Earth flyby, two Venus flybys, and three Mercury flybys before Mercury orbit insertion on March 18, 2011.Its first "flyby" happened on January 14, 2008.Its orbit insertion will happen on March 18, 2011.
Why was it advantageous for the Voyager mission to consist of flybys rather than orbiters?
Because orbiters must slow down enough to enter orbit around a planet. This requires either very slow initial speeds with long transit times, or a large amount of fuel to slow down upon reaching the planet.
Did you send any space missions to Eris?
We should send space probe just like New Horizons Spacecraft to Eris. So we can launch this spacecraft in 2015 to make Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune flybys then to Eris.
What planets have been visited by spacecrafts?
Planets that have been visited by spacecrafts include Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Additionally, the spacecraft Voyager 2 has conducted flybys of both Uranus and Neptune.
Can a robotic spacecraft be sent to Mercury?
Yes. In fact. the NASA "Messenger" probe was launched on August 3, 2004 and is on its way there now. In fact, it has done two close flybys of Mercury, and will settle into Mercury orbit in March, 2011.
Mercury was first visited by a spacecraft that was the tenth in the series called?
The first spacecraft to visit Mercury was Mariner 10, part of the Mariner program by NASA. It launched in 1973 and made three flybys of Mercury in 1974 and 1975, capturing close-up images of the planet.
Are any of the NASA probes launched for flybys of the planets still sending signals back to earth?
Yes, many of them are. In fact, both of the Voyager probes are still transmitting data, even from beyond Neptune and past the "heliopause", the boundary between the solar system and interstallar space.
