SOLAR SYSTEM EXPLORATIONS
OBJECTIVE:
To be able to identify and explain
some of the recent and ongoing
space explorations.
The race for exploring outside
of the earth with the use of
space technology started when
the first satellite to orbit the
Earth was launched in 1957.
The following are some of the recent
and ongoing space explorations.
1. March 18,2011 – First spacecraft to
orbit Mercury
NASA’s MESSENGER (MErcury Surface,
Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and
Ranging)
Spacecraft has the mission to take high
resolution photographs and to study
Mercury’s thin atmosphere and possible
presence of water.
2. July 16,2011 – first
Spacecraft to orbit an asteroid
NASA’s Dawn spacecraft enters
the orbit around Vesta. It was
launched in 2007 with the
mission to study and
photograph the rocky surface
of the asteroid.
3. August 6,2012 – Curiosity
Rover lands on Mars
NASA’s Curiosity Rover – is the
largest and most advanced
rover to land on Mars.
Its mission is to investigate the
climate and geology of the
planet and also to look for signs
of life.
4. August 25, 2012 – First
Human made spacecraft in
interstellar space
NASA’s Voyager 1 sent a data
indicating that it has passed
the extreme outer edge of the
Sun’s influence known as the
“heliopause” and is headed
towards parts that are
unknown.
In the resolution B5 released by the
International Astronomical Union
(IAU), planets, dwarf planets and
small solar system bodies are defined
as follows.
Planet – a celestial body that is in orbit
around the sun.
- Has sufficient mass for its own
gravity to overcome rigid body forces
so that it assumes a nearly round
shape.
