What does as opposed to a flyby mean?

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?

A flyby mission requires less fuel and a shorter duration of operation compared to an orbiter mission. Since a flyby does not need to enter orbit around Pluto, it can be completed with fewer resources and less time, resulting in lower overall costs.

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 :)
