- Mariner 2
- Mariner 2 was the world's first successful interplanetary spacecraft. Launched August 27, 1962, Mariner 2 passed within about 34,000 kilometers (21,000 miles) of Venus. Mariner 2 provided valuable new information about interplanetary space and the Venusian atmosphere.

- Pioneer
- Launched on 2 March 1972, Pioneer 10 was the first spacecraft to travel through the Asteroid belt, and the first spacecraft to make direct observations and obtain closeup images of Jupiter. Launched on 5 April 1973, Pioneer 11 followed its sister ship to Jupiter (1974), made the first direct observations of Saturn (1979), and studied energetic particles in the outer heliosphere.

- Hipparcos
- The Hipparcos spacecraft was dedicated to the precise measurement of the positions, parallaxes and proper motions of the stars. Launched in August 1989 the satellite collected more than three years of extremely high-quality scientific data. Communications were terminated with the satellite in August 1993.
