Abstract:

The future of spacecraft operations will be a challenging one as missions are developed to reconnoitre the remaining yet-unexplored bodies in the solar system, and to go back to planets that were previously targets of quick flybys. These missions will give us a more complete understanding of the other planets in the solar system to understand what is common to all planets and what is unique about Earth.
