Launched 2020
Active missionNASA's active Mars 2020 mission operates the Perseverance rover in Jezero Crater, searching for signs of ancient microbial life and caching rock and regolith samples.
Launched 2018
Completed · SuccessMarCO (Mars Cube One) is a two spacecraft mission to accompany the InSight Mars lander to provide real-time data relay during the landing phase, as the MRO, MAVEN, and Mars Odyssey orbiters will not be in position to receive InSight data. The MarCO space craft were built at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory to the 6U-cubesats form factor. JPL's page describes MarCO-A and B as the first and second interplanetary CubeSats designed to monitor InSight for a short period around landing, and gives the mission's status as Past.
Launched 2007
Completed · SuccessNASA's Dawn orbited asteroid Vesta and dwarf planet Ceres after a Mars gravity assist, becoming the first spacecraft to orbit two extraterrestrial destinations. Launched in 2007, it completed its successful mission in 2018 after exhausting its hydrazine.
Launched 2001
Completed · Partial SuccessNASA's Genesis spacecraft collected solar-wind samples at the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point and returned the sample canister to Earth; despite a hard landing, samples were recovered.
Launched 1998
Lost · FailureNASA's Mars Climate Orbiter was to be the first interplanetary weather satellite at Mars and a communications relay for the Mars Polar Lander. Launched 11 December 1998 on a Delta II from Cape Canaveral, it was lost on 23 September 1999 during the Mars Orbit Insertion burn. The Mishap Investigation Board found the root cause was the failure to use metric units in a ground software file, "Small Forces", used in trajectory models: thruster impulse data was delivered in pound-seconds instead of the specified newton-seconds, low by a factor of 4.45, driving the spacecraft roughly 170 km lower than planned at Mars arrival.
Launched 1989
Completed · SuccessNASA's Magellan orbiter mapped Venus with synthetic aperture radar from 1990 to 1994. Deployed from Space Shuttle Atlantis on STS-30R, it entered Venus orbit on 10 August 1990, imaged about 98 percent of the surface over three 243-day mapping cycles, then collected a global gravity field, performed the first planetary aerobraking demonstration, and was deliberately flown into the Venusian atmosphere; radio contact was lost on 12 October 1994.
Launched 1977
Active missionNASA's Voyager 1 flew past Jupiter and Saturn before becoming the first human-made object to enter interstellar space, where its extended mission continues.
Launched 1977
Active missionNASA's Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have visited all four giant planets at close range and now continues its extended mission in interstellar space.
