List space probes

This article counts all the space probes sent towards the objects of the solar system (Sun, Ground, the Moon, planets, small bodies), including those which failed. The simple overflights during operations of gravitational assistance and the confirmed projects of future missions are also listed, but not the or not confirmed projects of missions cancelled.

Sun

Here the list of the probes of observation of the Sun in orbit heliocentric or located at the one of the point of Lagrange of the system Sun-Ground. The list does not include the probes in terrestrial orbit.

Mercury

Venus

Overflights of the Ground

This section lists only the overflights of the Earth by space probes during operations of gravitational assistance, not the satellites of observation.

The moon

See also: Exploration of the Moon

This list included not missions of the Program Apollo.

Mars

Phobos

Jupiter

Saturn

Titan

Uranus

Neptune

Dwarf Planets

Cérès

Pluto

Asteroids

Comets

Probes leaving the Solar system

Other probes leaving the terrestrial orbit

This table lists the probes which have (or go) to leave the terrestrial orbit, and whose objective is not to study the objects of the Solar system.

Explanations on the tables

  • soulignés as ceci indicates a success or a success partial of the probe
  • † means “tentatively identified” (“attempt at identification”), according to the notes of NASA. They are Soviet missions of the period of the Cold war of which no or few details were made public.
  • Type means:
* Overflight - the probe overflight its target
* Orbiteur - the probe is in orbit around its target
* Atterrisseur - the probe is posed on surface
* Impacteur - the probe carries out a voluntary crash landing on surface
* Pénétrateur - the probe penetrates inside the surface of its target
* atmospheric Sonde / balloon - the probe studies the atmosphere of its target
* Retour d" samples - the probe turns over samples
  • the Date corresponds to the moment:
* of the distance minimum at the time of the overflights
* of the impact (for the impactors)
* of insertion in orbit, and the end of the mission, as envisaged or anticipated (orbiteurs)
* of the landing and the end of the probe (undercarriage)
* of launching, for the probes which failed
For the other cases, the corresponding event is indicated
  • Statut :
* Succès means that the probe achieved its goals. In the case of the overflights (like the gravitational assistance), “Success” means that the overflight is successful, but not necessarily the main aim of the probe.
* partial Succès means that the probe reached the majority of its objectives, but not all
* Échec means that the probe completely failed
  • the tables are sorted by chronological order
