Viking was launched August 20, 1976. The destination of this mission was Chryse Planitia, Mars. The point of this mission was to search for plant life. The data that was recorded was stored away for potential later use. This data helped characterize mars as a cold planet with volcanic soil. Viking was a lander/rover orbiter mission. This means that it was designed to take high resolution pictures and study the surface and atmosphere. The end date of this mission was November 13, 1982

• This mission was launched October 15, 1997. The mission will end September 15, 2017, when Cassini will be left to be destroyed in space.

• It was a 7-year journey, in which they wanted to improve their understanding of bigger planets and how they form and evolve. They also wanted to understand Saturn’s origins, how much material is in the rings, and learn about its gravitational and magnetic field.

• The Cassini orbits Saturn, and sent a probe, Huygens, down to Saturn’s moon, Titan. It successfully landed on Titan’s surface in 2005 to collect data and readings. The Cassini has also flown by other moons, such as Titan, Dione, Rhea, and Helene.

• Scientists have collected detailed maps, information about Saturn’s rings (such as a ring 8 million miles away from Saturn), ultra-close images of its surface and rings, and information about Saturn’s moons.

Mission

•Find out amount of water in atmosphere.

•Measure composition, temperature, cloud motions and other properties in atmosphere.

•Map gravity and magnetic fields.

•Explore magnetosphere near the planet's poles, more specifically the auroras to provide new insights on how Jupiter's huge magnetic force field affects its atmosphere.

Description

•The main goal is to understand the history of Jupiter.

•Beneath its clouds, Jupiter's contains secrets to the fundamental processes and conditions that controlled our solar system during its formation.

•Jupiter can also show us critical info for understanding the planetary systems being discovered everywhere else.

•Juno will let us take a giant step forward in our understanding of how giant planets form and the role these titans played in putting together the rest of the solar system.

Mission Timeline

•Launched on August 5, 2011.

•Space Maneuvers- August and September 2012.

•Earth Flyby gravity slingshot-October 2013.

•Jupiter arrival-July 4, 2016.

•Orbit Jupiter for 20 months (or 37 orbits).

End of mission is February 2018.

• SOHO project was a cooperative effort between the ESA and NASA
• SOHO was launched 12/2/1995
• Was meant to operate in 1998 but it was successful so they prolonged it
• Goal was to study the structure of the sun and the atmosphere
• The space craft weighed 4078lbs
• The mission was an orbit mission
• They learned that the suns interior is made of nuclear fusion

New Horizons was launched January 19th, 2006. On the way to Pluto New Horizons crossed the orbits of many other planets. Its biggest crossing was the birds eye view of Jupiter on February 28th, 2007,  New Horizons came to the closest approach of Jupiter. It also flew by the planets of Saturn on June 8th 2008, Uranus on March 18th, 2011, and Neptune on August 25th, 2014.
New Horizon had a flyby through Pluto's moon. Pluto and its biggest moon were named the "ice dwarfs." New Horizons captured the data explaining if the planet could process methane gas. New Horizons is still on the mission.

This lander mission was to determine if Mars is able to support microbial life. It was launched in November, 2011 and it took over eight months to reach Mars. The rover is 10 feet long, 9 feet wide, and 7 feet tall. The Curiosity rover found that the conditions of Mars was once fit for ancient life. It also found ancient organic chemistry. This ended up being the most ambitious mission yet.

The James Webb Space Telescope

* Its going to be launched October 2018 for a future mission.
* It will be launched to study the history of our universe, to get the information about another planet like our earth to the evolution of our Solar System.
* From what I researched it will be a flyby it will surround other plants to get information but not a specific planet.
* They are didn’t get any details to that mission because it still in progress.

The primary objective of Apollo 11 was to preform a crude lunar landing and returning to earth.      The goal was set by JF Kennedy  to land on the moon and return to earth in May 25, 1961.   This mission was a lander mission.    During this mission they were exploring and gathering samples from the moon.

Redstone 3 also known as freedom7 was split into two countdowns. One was May 4, 1961 and  May 5, 1961.  The purpose of this mission was to determine man's capabilities in a space environment. The missions a flyby and learned that humans can adapt to space with the right materials.
Fun Fact: this mission was the first flight of an American rocket with a human on board
