If you are planning on going to Pluto, you will need a variety of things for your voyage. Your spacecraft to Pluto will need to be supplied with food, water, a power system, and fuel to last the 23 years it takes to get there. The trail there and back takes about 46 years and 210 days.

Can anything withstand the amount of pressure on Jupiter?

I am doing a project on Jupiter and I need a material that can be used for spacecraft that prevents it from being crushed.


Which type of spacecraft is best suited to explore planets that have very different conditions from those of Earth?

It depends what planet the spacecraft is travelling to. If it was travelling to Mars, it would most likely be made of high-temperature enduring material. If it was travelling to Pluto, it would most likely be made of low-temperature enduring material.


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.


Space probes have crossed Pluto's orbit but never have visited the planet Why?

Space probes like New Horizons have only performed flybys of Pluto because it is very far away from Earth and the journey would require a significant amount of time and resources. Additionally, the spacecraft would need to carry enough fuel for the long journey and for entering Pluto's orbit, which adds complexity and cost to the mission.


How long to Pluto on a spacecraft?

On the Space ShuttleThe distance from Earth to Pluto is not constant, but averages to 3.57 billion miles. The Space Shuttle orbits at 17,500 miles per hour. Therefore 205,000 hours or 8,500 days or 23 years 105 days.On the New Horizons probeIn January 2006, NASA launched the New Horizons probe on a mission to fly by Pluto. New Horizons is one of the fastest man-made objects ever launched, and is not scheduled to arrive at Pluto until July 2015 (it will not be entering orbit around Pluto. To do so it would have to slow down, significantly lengthening the travel time). So, as of now, it takes about 9.5 years to travel from the Earth to Pluto.

What would an astronaut need to wear on Pluto?

An astronaut landing on Pluto would need to wear a spacesuit that is not much different from those used now for spacewalks in orbit of Earth.


How long does it take to get to Dwarf planet Pluto?

You can't drive to another planet. Cars don't leave the ground, so you would never leave the planet Earth. You would need to use a rocket to get to Pluto, but nobody's ever done it. Certainly more than your lifetime. I've read in a book at measured by driving but it seemed ridiculous. It also depends on how fast you drive. Are you planning to do that? ;D
