Deep Impact at Comet 9P/Tempel 1 Dart Impact at Dimorphos Mars 2020 Skycrane descend stage crash smoke plume in the distance. This is a list of uncrewed spacecraft which have been intentionally destroyed at their objects of study, typically by hard landings or crash landings at the end of their respective missions and/or functionality.
This is a list of all spacecraft landings on other planets and bodies in the Solar System, including soft landings and both intended and unintended hard impacts. The list includes orbiters that were intentionally crashed, but not orbiters which later crashed in an unplanned manner due to orbital decay. Colour key:
New seismic data reveals that hundreds of space rocks crash into Mars each year, which could affect how space agencies land robots and human explorers on the planet. Mars gets hit by hundreds of ...

The Mars Global Surveyor, active from 1997 to 2006, was the first spacecraft able to image Mars in high enough resolution to detect new impacts, with a resolution of up to 1.5 meters (4.9 ft). The first detected impact, a 14.4-meter (47 ft)-diameter crater in southern Lucus Planum , happened between 27 January 2000, and 19 March 2001. [ 2 ]
