interstellar missions

Interstellar missions refer to space explorations aimed at reaching or studying objects outside our solar system, such as other star systems or their planets. Unlike interplanetary missions, which explore planets and moons within our solar system, interstellar missions face immense challenges due to vast distances and the limitations of current technology. Prominent concepts include sending robotic spacecraft equipped with advanced instruments, potentially leveraging concepts like solar sails or even nuclear propulsion. These missions could help us understand the universe's formation, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and the physical laws governing distant celestial bodies.
