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.
Pioneer 6, 7, 8, and 9 were space probes in the Pioneer program, launched between 1965 and 1969.They were a series of solar-orbiting, spin-stabilized, solar cell- and battery-powered satellites designed to obtain measurements on a continuing basis of interplanetary phenomena from widely separated points in space.

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 ...
A space probe is a scientific space exploration mission in which a spacecraft leaves Earth orbit and explores space. Subcategories This category has the following 13 subcategories, out of 13 total.

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 .
Parker Solar Probe: 12 August 2018 Solar corona probe, closest solar approach (0.04 AU) [464] [465] BepiColombo: 19 October 2018 Two Mercury orbiters (orbit insertion planned in December 2025) [466] [467] Chang'e 4: 7 December 2018 Lunar lander and rover, first landing on the lunar far side [405] [468] [469] Beresheet: 22 February 2019
The probe entered the nightside atmosphere at 06:01 UTC and when the velocity slowed to 210 m/s the parachute deployed and transmissions to Earth began. [3] The probe sent read-outs every 45 seconds for 53 minutes [ 4 ] before finally succumbing to the temperature and pressure at roughly 320 °C (608 °F) and 2,610 kilopascals (26.1 bar).
