Lost Satellite

Astronomers all over

the world are deeply

disappointed at the loss of the

satellite that was sending data

back to the Earth about a

newly-discovered moon orbiting

Jupiter. Despite a detailed

research into the matter, they have

been unable to agree on

what has happened to it. Because it is powered by

the Sun, it is able to recharge its

batteries and make its own

equipment, so most scientists do not

believe it has had a problem with its

machine. The satellite, which took

scientists over ten years to develop, was

carrying some extremely expensive

equipment. This included special

photographic plates which had recently been

invented and are able to send

photographs back to Earth no matter how much or little light is available. The loss of the satellite has put

an end to research in that part of the solar system.

Interviewer: We're lucky to have the chance to interview scientist Dr Robert Jones. Dr Jones, can you tell us a few things about Planetary Science Spacecraft missions?

Dr Jones: I'd be happy to! In two years, the satellite Europa Orbiter (takes off) and (starts) its mission: to measure the thickness of the surface ice of Europa and to try to detect whether there is a liquid ocean underneath.

Interviewer: What will happen next?

Dr Jones: Well, if our findings (show) that there is a liquid ocean, we'll send hydrobots, which are like submarines, there to melt through the ice and explore the underwater world.

Interviewer: That's fascinating, Dr Jones. Are there any other interesting projects planned for the future?

Dr Jones: Well, some have already started, and the time for their missions to start is near. There's the Stardust satellite, for example, whose mission is to study comets. One year from now, on 2 January, Stardust (flies) close to Comet Wild-2 and (sends) dust particles from it back to Earth.

Interviewer: Thank you, Doctor, and we hope all the missions are successful.

Dr Jones: Thank you too. But remember, even if the missions (don't go) as planned, we'll still learn something from our mistakes - that's science!
