<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Abstract:<br>
In exploring any particular solar system object over the past fifty years, NASA<br>
has followed a general paradigm of “flyby, orbit, land, rove, and sample return.”<br>
A complete campaign may not be performed for each object in the solar system,<br>
since not all our scientific questions can be studied at all objects, and there<br>
are high technological and financial hurdles to overcome for some missions and<br>
certain destinations. Moreover, a healthy program of solar system exploration<br>
requires a balance between detailed investigations of a particular target and<br>
broader reconnaissance of a variety of similar targets. In following this<br>
paradigm, a descriptive review of the past exploration of solar system bodies<br>
will be discussed, the significant progress on a number of solar system bodies<br>
currently underway, and the recipe for exploration as applied to the recent<br>
Planetary Science Decadal Survey. Finally, a thoughtful reflection will be made<br>
of NASA’s creation of the discipline of planetary science, predictions for the<br>
future, especially as the Curiosity Rover will begin its mission on the surface<br>
of Mars, and the potential for the discovery of life beyond Earth.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
