Analysis

Orbiting the sun, a flyby spacecraft quickly collects information from targets that it passes. It stores the data and transmits it to earth when its antennas are correctly positioned. A flyby spacecraft is designed for long periods of interplanetary travel. Some examples of flyby spacecraft are the Stardust, Mariner 2, and Voyager 2.
