But with the fiscal troubles of space agencies and the fact the budget is usually approved on the projects-based principles, it is perhaps sound of far future :-/ BTW, it would be nice if any anyone finally constructed kind of more universal spacecraft so that it could orbit planets, hunt comets and freely move across the interplanetary space and make tasks that are currently transmitted from Earth.

The 'scope is slightly out of focus, spreading light from a star across multiple detectors. Ironically, it's a flaw in the telescope that allows DI to carry out this mission.

Go Mars rovers! Always equip probes with more than they're asked to do! Space has so much to look at. I hope this one finds some great new news! I LOVE it when these probes do double duty!!!
