Default 3 Space Missions
I have found out about several space missions most of us know little or nothing about.
And from TV, with pad & pen in hand while watching The Universe.

Dawn Probe, is going to our asteroid belt to hook up with the largest one.

Dawn Mission: Dawn - Home Page

Star Dust Mission: Some have seen or heard of this one.

Stardust - NASA's Comet Sample Return Mission

And the Rosetta Stone Space Mission.

Rosetta

Which will land a probe on on Comet 67P C-G in 2014.

Does Comet even know that a satellite is going to land on him? Someone better tell him......

Good Post lurpman!

Just click each link and save them to a folder like I did, named SPACE. At each site it tells you some of the mission goals, etc., and you have other choices to click on.
