Unreferenced date July 2010 An Interplanetary Mission 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 this date in 2009 , there have been no manned interplanetary missions, although the Apollo Applications Program planned a three month interplanetary mission 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 interplanetary mission 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 interplanetary mission 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 100,000 km 62,500 miles of Venus before entering a heliocentric orbit . The United States Mariner 2 became the first successful interplanetary mission in December 1962 when it collected data within 35,000 km 22,000 miles of Venus.

Interplanetary Contamination is the contamination of a sterilization microbiology sterile planetary body by spacecraft . Currently international agreements cover the sterility of spacecraft that leave earth. Though unconfirmed as of yet several missions have left open the possibility of interplanetary contamination on the Moon, Mars, and Venus. The harsh environments encountered throughout the rest of the solar system so far do not seem to support complex terrestrial life. There is a Planetary Society mission to send microscopic Tardigrades also known as Water Bears to the Martian moon Phobos via a Russian spacecraft, in a attempt to test the panspermia theory of panspermia .

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. By including blank spaces or boxes for writing, puzzles that required pages to be folded over and even a cutout model in one novel The Star Crystal the reader was actively encouraged to make changes to the books themselves. Because of this, it is almost impossible to find a copy today in mint condition .

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. Once three spacecraft detect a GRB, their timings are sent to the ground for correlation. A sky position is derived, and distributed to the astronomical community for followup observations with optical, radio, or spaceborne telescopes. Iterations of the IPN Note that, since any IPN must consist of several spacecraft, the boundaries between networks are defined differently by different commentators. Spacecraft naturally join or leave service as their missions unfold, and some modern spacecraft are far more capable than prior IPN ... bursts were detected by several other spacecraft. ref name Mazets As part of the InterPlanetary Network IPN , ref name Morgan cite web author Morgan M title InterPlanetary Network Progress Report url ... was shut down in early 2001.

Spaceflight is the monthly magazine of the British Interplanetary Society BIS . It was first published in 1956, a year before the launch of Sputnik 1 , and has been reporting on space exploration topics ever since. Spaceflight is published monthly with each volume of 12 issues having continuous journal pagination pagination and an annual index included with the December issue. Widely used as a magazine of authoritative reference, Spaceflight has long been recognised as a prime source of information on international space programmes and commercial space exploration. Citation needed date January 2009 Regular features, often written by those directly involved in a particular technology or project, cover aspects of space technology and exploration, astronomy, satellites, commercial space, political activities and educational programmes. The magazine also includes detailed space mission reports. Spaceflight is intended to be appropriate for those professionally involved in the space business and for those with a general interest in the subject. In 2008 the magazine, edited by Clive Simpson, was the winner of the Sir Arthur Clarke Award in the category of Best Space Reporting.
