Similarly‚ it is hoped that these spacecraft will result in better understanding of comets and the early Solar System. The spacecraft has already performed two successful asteroid flyby missions on its way to the comet. In 2007‚ Rosetta also performed a Mars swingby (flyby)‚ and returned images. The craft completed its fly-by of asteroid 2867 Šteins in September 2008 and of 21 Lutetia in July 2010. On 20 January 2014‚ Rosetta was taken out of a 31-month hibernation mode and is continuing to its target

The space rovers names were Spirit and Opportunity and they were launched on July 7 in 2003. Later‚ they launched a second rover named Curiosity in 2011. The goals of the missions were to find out if there was water on Mars‚ which could support life there‚ as well as to observe the geography of Mars in case we ever put a human on the planet. The results

Simulations predict that a protoplanetary disc capable of forming the planets Venus and Earth should also be capable of forming another planet but said to be at least half the mass of Earth in Mars location. Studies show that mars are 10% of the Earth’s mass. This videos say now that “We have a tiny Mars‚ No Super Earths‚ A weird mixed up of Asteroid belts‚ An early obliteration of Earth’s surface‚ and a missing ninth planet. This is all to be cause of Jupiter. There are no facts if the solar system
