    Whether you're looking for skill redundancy in a space deck or a logical substitute for a unique space mission that your opponent seeds first, this universal mission will fill the bill, if you're playing one of the four affiliations that can attempt it. SCIENCE and Astrophysics, required for so many space missions, are generally found together on a personnel; if you're attempting space missions at all, you'd be well-advised to have Transporter Skill aboard anyway to defuse those Orion Syndicate Bombs; and all four affiliations have Treachery and/or Smuggling aplenty.

    Compared to the other universal Astrophysics missions, it's 5 points more than either Explore Interstellar Matter or Study Pulsar, and doesn't have the disadvantage of Study Plasma Storm's Computer Skill required to use any equipment - an excellent replacement mission all around.
