Interviewer: We're lucky to have the chance to interview scientist Dr Robert Jones. D rJones, can you tell us a few things about Planetary Science Spacecraft missions?
Dr Jones: I'd be happy to! In two years, the satellite Europa Orbiter (1) (take off) and
(2) (start) its mission: to measure the
thickness of the surface ice of Europa and to try to detect whether there is a liquid ocean underneath.
Interviewer: What will happen next?
D r Jones: Well, if our findings (3)
(show) that there is a liquid ocean, we'll send hydrobots, which are like submarines, there to melt through the ice and explore the underwater world.
Interviewer: That's fascinating, Dr Jones. Are there any other interesting projects planned for the future?
D r J o n e s : Well, some have already started, and the time for their missions to start is near. There's
33
the Stardust satellite, for example, whose mission si
to study comets. One year from now, on 2January, Stardust (4) (fly) close to C o m e t Wild-2 and (5)
..(send) dust particles from it back to Earth.

Interviewer: Thank you, Doctor, and we hope al
the missions are successful.
Dr Jones: Thank you too. But remember, even if the missions 6() (not go) sa planned,
we'll still learn something from our mistakes that's science!
