Question

imagine the united states sent out a spacecraft that passed jupiter and took photos of the red storm from just outside of its orbit. what would the path the spacecraft took be called?
○ re - entry
○ flybys
○ airlock
○ suborbital

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• "re - entry" refers to a spacecraft returning to Earth's atmosphere, not a path near Jupiter.
• "flybys" is a path where a spacecraft passes close to a celestial body (like Jupiter) to observe it, which matches the scenario of taking photos from just outside Jupiter's orbit.
• "airlock" is a structure for transitioning between environments, not a path.
• "suborbital" is a trajectory that doesn't complete an orbit, not related to passing a planet like Jupiter.

Answer:

B. flybys
