This is a list of proposed space probes that are planned to focus on the exploration of the Solar System, ordered by date of spacecraft launch. Launched probes are in the List of Solar System probes and the List of active Solar System probes .
Buoyant Rover for Under-Ice Exploration: N/A N/A NASA: Lander In progress Currently in progress, with potential plans to explore Europa and Enceladus. [38] 3 Europa Lander: Europa Lander: 2025–2030 Space Launch System or a commercial rocket NASA: Lander In progress Would depend on the Europa Clipper to select a landing site and assess ...
This is a list of space probes that have left Earth orbit (or were launched with that intention but failed), organized by their planned destination. It includes planetary probes, solar probes, and probes to asteroids and comets, but excludes lunar missions, which are listed separately at List of lunar probes and List of Apollo missions.
Physical exploration of space is conducted both by human spaceflights (deep-space astronautics) and by robotic spacecraft. At present the farthest space probe humankind has constructed and launched from Earth is Voyager 1 , which was announced on December 5, 2011, [ 2 ] to have reached the outer edge of the Solar System , [ 3 ] and entered ...
The future of space exploration involves both telescopic and physical explorations of space by robotic spacecraft and human spaceflight.Near-term physical exploration missions, focused on obtaining new information about the Solar System, are planned and announced by both national and private organisations.
Solar System space probes operational as of November 2024. This is a list of active space probes which have escaped Earth orbit. It includes lunar space probes, but does not include space probes orbiting at the Sun–Earth Lagrangian points (for these, see List of objects at Lagrangian points). A craft is deemed "active" if it is still able to ...
2 Deep-space rendezvous. 3 Expected maiden flights. 4 References. 5 External links. ... South Korea and China plan to return samples from Mars by around 2031 or 2032.
In summer 2022 during a deep space exploration technology forum held at Nanjing University, Sun Zezhou, chief designer of the Tianwen-1 mission, detailed plans for the mission based on a two-launch architecture. The mission constitutes part of the Tianwen series of space missions. [1] [3]
