Comparison of Stellar Detectors for Mars, Jupiter, and Sun

Abstract

Contemporarily, various stellar detectors have been launched to different planets, which offer abundant information for both astrophysics and cosmology. To better illustrate the differences and functions of the detectors, this paper briefly introduces the development of planetary probes and the characteristics of some of the planets and selects three of the most valuable planetary probes for study, comparing their functions, characteristics, and other aspects to investigate the different effects of different planetary characteristics on the function of the probes. The paper focuses on the Mars Rover Curiosity, the Jupiter Rover Galileo, and the Solar Rover Parker. The comparison shows that they all differ in the presentation of the rover form due to the different characteristics of the planet. This study also helps to analyse the future direction of the rovers of these three bodies, e.g., solar probes will continue to face the challenge of becoming more resistant to radiation as well as to heat. These results shed light on guiding further exploration of stellar detectors.
