Traveling through deep space requires advanced propulsion systems, such as ion and plasma drives, nuclear propulsion systems, and solar sails. These propulsion systems are typically powered by nuclear or solar energy, and can be used to generate thrust to propel a spacecraft through the vacuum of space. Additionally, spacecraft can be sent to deep space destinations by taking advantage of gravitational slingshots, which use the gravity of other planets to change the spacecraft's trajectory.
