Summary
Each of the missions or spacecraft in this part has been selected for description in greater detail because they have faced and overcome an unusual challenge in their design and/or mission. Collectively, the seven case studies cover: atmospheric probes and surface/sub-surface missions; worlds with and without atmospheres; low and high gravity environments, and both static and mobile elements.
