Mariner 2 in 1962 Other flybies include that in 1965 for Mars by Mariner 4, 1973 for Jupiter by Pioneer 10, 1974 for Mercury by Mariner 10, 1979 for Saturn by Pioneer 11, 1986 for Uranus by Voyager 2, 1989 for Neptune by Voyager 2

In the past, the study of space was mainly carried out by astronomers using telescopes However, astronomers sometimes had it wrong Meanwhile, apart from the desire to conquer the world around, humans also want more space to accommodate the world’s increasing population
Owing to the developments in space technology, humans have made spectacular explorations and discoveries of the space The explorations can be conducted either by unmanned robotic probes or by human spaceflights
Undeniably, those achievements have been made quickly as a result of the “space race” by the Soviet Union and the United States Within more than two decades, from the beginning
of 1950s to 1970s, the two nations launched many of the milestones, from launching living beings into space to launching flybies to observe planets
However, the biggest achievement of the 21st century has been the cooperation in launching
