Could a spacecraft fly directly through the planet?

A Solid Core In the distant future, engineers may be able to build a spacecraft that can withstand the conditions inside a gas giant like Jupiter, but even if they do, the craft won’t be able to fly straight through the planet.

How do Probes get to other planets?

Once a probe has left the vicinity of Earth, its trajectory will likely take it along an orbit around the Sun similar to the Earth’s orbit. To reach another planet, the simplest practical method is a Hohmann transfer orbit.

What is below the Milky Way galaxy?

The Andromeda Galaxy (IPA: /ænˈdrɒmɪdə/), also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula (see below), is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years (770 kiloparsecs) from Earth and the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way.

Can a rocket land on the sun?

But if you take a look around, there’s nothing here for you to actually land on, because the sun doesn’t have any solid surface to speak of. It’s just a giant ball of hydrogen and helium gas. So instead of landing on the photosphere, you’re going to sink into it.

Could we ever travel to the sun?

In theory, we could. But the trip is long — the sun is 93 million miles (about 150 million kilometers) away — and we don’t have the technology to safely get astronauts to the sun and back yet. The sun’s surface is about 6,000 Kelvin, which is 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit (5,726 degrees Celsius). …

Why do we send probes and rovers to other planets?

Space probes are made to conduct science experiments. They do not have people on them. Space probes have helped scientists get information about our solar system. There are even some space probes that go into orbit around other planets and study them for a long time.

HOW DO probes communicate with Earth?

Spacecraft send information and pictures back to Earth using the Deep Space Network (DSN), a collection of big radio antennas. Spacecraft send information and pictures back to Earth using the Deep Space Network, or DSN. The DSN is a collection of big radio antennas in different parts of the world.
