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 ...
Artist's depiction of Pioneer 10, the first spacecraft to visit Jupiter. The exploration of Jupiter has been conducted via close observations by automated spacecraft.It began with the arrival of Pioneer 10 into the Jovian system in 1973, and, as of 2024, has continued with eight further spacecraft missions in the vicinity of Jupiter and two more en route.
Lucy – NASA probe to multiple Jupiter trojans; Psyche (NASA) – probe to asteroid Psyche; Juno – NASA satellite orbiting Jupiter; Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer – ESA probe to Jupiter and its moons; New Horizons – probe to Pluto; Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 (NASA) – probes to outer Solar System and interstellar space
Europa Clipper (previously known as Europa Multiple Flyby Mission) is a space probe developed by NASA to study Europa, a Galilean moon of Jupiter. It was launched on October 14, 2024. [15] The spacecraft will use gravity assists from Mars on March 1, 2025, [10] and Earth on December 3, 2026, [11] before arriving at Europa in April 2030. [16]
It is a suite of detectors on the Juno Jupiter orbiter (launched 2011, orbiting Jupiter since 2016). [2] JADE includes JADE-E, JADE-I, and the EBox. [2] JADE-E and JADE-I are sensors that are spread out on the spacecraft, and the EBox is located inside the Juno Radiation Vault. [2] EBox stands for Electronics Box. [2]
Lucy is a NASA space probe on a twelve-year journey to eight different asteroids. It is slated to visit two main belt asteroids as well as six Jupiter trojans – asteroids that share Jupiter's orbit around the Sun, orbiting either ahead of or behind the planet. [4] [5] All target encounters will be flyby encounters. [6]
