Investigating planets using satellites
Description
Investigating planets using satellites involves deploying unmanned spacecraft to orbit or fly by planetary bodies, systematically collecting data on their atmospheres, surfaces, and environments. This strategy enables direct observation and measurement, overcoming limitations of ground-based telescopes. It provides critical information for understanding planetary formation, climate, and potential habitability, and supports solutions to challenges in planetary science, such as identifying resources, monitoring hazards, and informing future exploration or mitigation efforts.
