论文摘要
我们回顾了与彗星相遇的航天器相遇的历史，这些历史集中在最近的过去，自《彗星II书》出版以来。这包括Flyby Missions Stardust和深层影响，及其各自的扩展任务，Rosetta Rendezvous任务以及偶然的相遇。尽管所有这些任务的结果都可以在本书中找到，但本章侧重于激发每个任务的问题，回答这些问题所需的技术以及每个任务在哪里打开了新领域进行调查。还有许多问题需要将来的技术和太空任务来回答；我们还描述了计划的下一步和途径，这些步骤和途径可能是由尚未选择的任务所追求的，并最终导致核ICE的低温样本回报进行实验室研究。
We review the history of spacecraft encounters with comets, concentrating on those that took place in the recent past, since the publication of the Comets II book. This includes the flyby missions Stardust and Deep Impact, and their respective extended missions, the Rosetta rendezvous mission, and serendipitous encounters. While results from all of these missions can be found throughout this book, this chapter focuses on the questions that motivated each mission, the technologies that were required to answer these questions, and where each mission opened new areas to investigate. There remain a large number of questions that will require future technologies and space missions to answer; we also describe planned next steps and routes forward that may be pursued by missions that have yet to be selected, and eventually lead to cryogenic sample return of nucleus ices for laboratory study.
