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 ...
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 .
Several space probes and the upper stages of their launch vehicles are leaving the Solar System, all of which were launched by NASA. Three of the probes, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and New Horizons, are still functioning and are regularly contacted by radio communication, while Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 are now derelict.
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:
NASA's Solar Terrestrial Probes program (STP) is a series of missions focused on studying the Sun-Earth system. It is part of NASA 's Heliophysics Science Division within the Science Mission Directorate .
OSIRIS-APEX (NASA) – probe to asteroid Apophis; 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 ...
The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) in a halo orbit around L1 Mission: Investigation of the outer layer of the Sun, making observations of solar wind and associated phenomena in the vicinity of L1, probing the interior structure of the Sun. Launched: 2 December 1995; Arrival: Operational orbit in May 1996; Institution: ESA
