In
space exploration, the possibilities for discovery are without
limits. Even with the vast amount of knowledge gained since
exploration of our solar system began, there are still more
questions than answers.
NASA's
Discovery Program gives scientists the opportunity to dig
deep into their imaginations and find innovative ways to unlock
the mysteries of the solar system. It represents a breakthrough
in the way NASA explores space, with lower-cost, highly focused
planetary science investigations designed to enhance our understanding
of the solar system.
All
completed Discovery missions have achieved ground-breaking
science within strict cost and schedule limitations, each
taking a unique approach to space exploration.
Reaching
into the unknown, doing what's never been done before, and
driving new technology innovations that may also improve life
on Earth - this is NASA's Discovery Program. |
