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).
Diamonds are common in highly shocked ureilites, and most are thought to have been formed by the shock of the impact with either Earth or other bodies in space. [6] [8]: 264 However, much larger diamonds were found in fragments of a meteorite called Almahata Sitta, found in the Nubian Desert of Sudan.
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.
Lucy was launched from Cape Canaveral SLC-41 on 16 October 2021, at 09:34 UTC [3] on the 401 variant of a United Launch Alliance Atlas V launch vehicle. It gained one gravity assist from Earth a year later on 16 October 2022, [12] and after making a flyby of the asteroid 152830 Dinkinesh in 2023, [13] it will gain another gravity assist from Earth in 2024.
