Radar Astrometry of Small Bodies: Detection, Characterization . . . Radar astrometry reduces trajectory uncertainties by orders of magnitude, thereby improving prediction, targeting, and impact probability estimates for small-bodies, while characterizing some at levels comparable to a spacecraft flyby This improves resource use for ground and flight investigations
Solar System Exploration The solar system has one star, eight planets, five dwarf planets, at least 290 moons, more than 1 3 million asteroids, and about 3,900 comets
In Depth | Our Solar System – NASA Solar System Exploration Introduction The planetary system we call home is located in an outer spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids
