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.
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 ...
Comparison of NASA Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle spacecraft with their launch vehicles. This is a list of NASA missions, both crewed and robotic, since the establishment of NASA in 1957. There are over 80 currently active science missions. [1]
The Magellan spacecraft was a space probe sent to the planet Venus, the first uncrewed interplanetary spacecraft to be launched by NASA since its successful Pioneer Orbiter, also to Venus, in 1978. It was also the first deep-space probe to be launched on the Space Shuttle. [38] In 1993, it employed aerobraking techniques to lower its orbit.
A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket carrying NASA's Europa Clipper space probe launches from Kennedy Space Center on Oct. 14, 2024, on a mission to orbit Jupiter and study its icy moon, Europa, for signs ...

NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to land astronauts at the lunar south pole, has hit a new snag. The agency said this week that the Artemis III mission and its historic planned lunar landing ...
Canceled due to a shift in NASA's priorities, which favored crewed space missions instead. [55] The probe would have confirmed the potential existence of a subsurface ocean beneath Europa's surface, with Ganymede and Callisto also being targeted for exploration. 14 Jupiter Magnetospheric Orbiter: Jupiter Magnetospheric Orbiter: 2020 N/A JAXA ...
