Exploring the Solar System Panel

Exploring the Solar System

America’s planetary program has successfully sent unpiloted spacecraft around the Moon, to all of the terrestrial planets (the four nearest the Sun) and to the first two outer planets (or gas giants) – Jupiter and Saturn – as well as their satellites. This data gathered remotely by spacecraft will allow scientists to study the nature and history of the solar system, thereby gaining a better understanding of our home planet and its environs.
