New Frontiers program

The New Frontiers Program is a way for scientists to explore new places in space. Scientists use the program to send spacecraft to planets, comets, or other parts of the solar system to learn more about them and how they work. Scientists use the spacecraft to take pictures or collect samples of rocks, ice, or other materials. The information and samples are sent back to Earth and studied by scientists to learn more about the places in space. The New Frontiers Program is like an adventure for scientists to explore and learn about the unknown.
