What was different was the systematisation and organisation, a pattern yielding major benefits when the Zulu were dispatched on raiding missions.

The first three missions, overland from Greece, were trouble-free.

Plans were also set forth for several missions to explore and chart the territory, the most famous being the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

The electric propulsion missions already flown, or currently scheduled, have used solar electric power, limiting their capability to operate far from the Sun, and also limiting their peak acceleration due to the mass of the electric power source.
