Unreferenced date July 2010 An interplanetarymission is a voyage or trip through space involving more than one planet . This is an important distinction because it requires significantly more Delta v V change in velocity than do missions within a single planetary system. As of 2011, there have been no manned interplanetary missions, although the Apollo Applications Program planned a three month interplanetarymission to Venus using Apollo hardware in the 1970s. So far, all manned missions have been within the Earth s planetary system i.e. to the moon or closer . The American space agency NASA intends to be able to launch a manned interplanetarymission to Mars by some time after 2015 under the Vision for Space Exploration . The European Space Agency has the long term vision of sending a human mission to Mars by 2030 under the Aurora Programme . A large number of robotic interplanetary missions have been performed by the USA , the Soviet Union and later by Russia , Japan and the European Union . The first interplanetarymission to fly past another planet was the Soviet Union s Venera 1 . The robotic spacecraft was intended to enter into orbit around Venus , but suffered a malfunction and radio contact with the spacecraft was lost. The defunct Venera 1 passed within convert 100,000 km mi abbr on of Venus before entering a heliocentric orbit . The United States Mariner 2 became the first successful interplanetarymission in December 1962 when it collected data within convert 35,000 km mi abbr on of Venus.

Resilience of life in space It is believed that the harsh environments encountered throughout the rest of the solar system so far do not seem to support complex terrestrial life however, certain extremophiles may be resilient enough to survive space travel to possibly contaminate a sterile planet or planetoid .

File Be an Interplanetary Spy.jpg right thumb Find the Kirillian , the first Be An Interplanetary Spy book. Be An Interplanetary Spy is a series of twelve interactive children s science fiction book s designed by Byron Preiss Visual Publications and first published by Bantam Books from 1983 to 1985. Presentation Aimed at younger readers, these books were published in paperback form only, with brightly coloured covers and were heavily illustrated in black and white throughout. Unlike other series of interactive novels such as Choose Your Own Adventure stories or Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, each Interplanetary Spy book is made up largely of illustrations in a style that mixes comic book like line drawings with blocky, straight edge illustrations matching the graphical quality of video game s from the time of publication. Rather than requiring readers to select from various actions and directions, or succeed in dice driven combat to progress through the story, these novels mostly involve puzzle solving. Image based challenges such as mazes, pattern matching and visualization problems are common throughout the series, with all stories being presented in Grammatical person second person point of view.

Refimprove date November 2009 The InterPlanetary Network IPN is a group of spacecraft equipped with gamma ray burst GRB detectors. By Multilateration timing the arrival of a burst at several spacecraft, its precise location can be found. The farther apart the detectors, or the greater the timing precision of each detector, the more precise the GRB location. Typical spacecraft baselines of about one AU astronomical unit and time resolutions of tens of milliseconds can place a burst within an error box of several arcminutes, for followup with more powerful instruments. Rationale Gamma rays are too powerful to be focused with mirrors rays would go through virtually all materials instead of reflecting. Because gamma rays cannot be focused into an image in the traditional sense, a unique location for a gamma ray source cannot be generated as with a radio, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, or soft X ray source. In addition, gamma ray bursts are brief flashes often as little as 0.2 seconds that occur randomly across the sky. Some forms of gamma ray telescope can generate an image, but they require longer integration times, and cover only a fraction of the sky.

The Interplanetary Scintillation Array IPS Array or Pulsar Array was built at the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory in 1967 and originally covered four acres 16,000 m . It was extended in 1978 to nine, and re furbished in 1989. It operates at 81.5 MHz 3.7 m wavelength , and is made up of 4096 dipoles in a phased array. 14 beams can map the northern sky in one day. Sheep are used to keep grass away from the aerials as a lawnmower would not fit. It was designed by Antony Hewish to measure the high frequency fluctuations of radio sources, originally for monitoring interplanetary scintillation . Antony Hewish received a Nobel prize after the high time resolution of the array allowed the detection of pulsars by Jocelyn Bell in 1967. The IPS has more recently been used to track and help forecast interplanetary weather, and specifically to monitor the solar wind. It is now essentially retired, and has lost significant fraction of its area. The telescope was operated by the Cavendish Astrophysics Group .

The dynamic pressure of the wind dominates over the magnetic pressure through most of the solar system or heliosphere , so that the magnetic field is pulled into an Archimedean spiral pattern the Parker spiral by the combination of the outward motion and the Sun s rotation. Depending on the Earth hemisphere and phase of the solar cycle , the magnetic field spirals inward or outward the magnetic field follows the same shape of spiral in the northern and southern parts of the heliosphere, but with opposite field direction. These two magnetic domains are separated by a two current sheet an electric current that is confined to a curved plane .
