Will we one day explore the worlds of our solar system? How long will this take?

We have a diversity of worlds in our solar system. Majestic places…

Imagine being able to visit Mars and its hostile climate. Imagine being able to visit the moons of Jupiter, observe Io: the volcanic moon, Europa, the frozen moon and Ganymede a moon larger than Mercury itself and that has its own magnetic field. Imagine visiting the moons of Saturn and maybe passing close to your rings… Imagine orbiting or floating through Titan’s atmosphere and closely watching its lakes and seas of methane and liquid ethane. Imagine getting to know the geysers of Enceladus, the valleys of Tethys, and the craters of Mimas… Imagine being able to see the moons of Uranus and have a view of Verona Rupes, the largest cliff of the solar system, located in Miranda. Imagine being able to be in Triton and to be able to observe the cold and azualdo Neptune in the sky…

A view you’d see from an asteroid’s surface!

Japan’s space agency (JAXA) has successfully landed two small rovers on the asteroid Ryugu. Their “mothership” Hayabusa 2 reached the asteroid in summer at a distance of 313 million km (194 million miles) from Earth, a journey which took 3.5 years. Rover-1B captured this video of 15 frames on September 23, 2018. 

Another spectacular sight was the Hayabusa 2 spacecraft’s shadow visible on the surface before releasing the rovers:  

The mission’s goal is to study this potentially hazardous asteroid, and bring back a sample in 2020! Asteroids are not only space rocks that might collide with our planet, though. They are remnants from our solar system’s formation and help to investigate the origin of life and the Earth’s oceans.
