Robotic Outer Solar System and Small-Body Missions

Probe with a Large Dish Near a Small Body

Uncrewed missions sent beyond the inner Solar System or to a small body other than the Moon: NASA's Pioneer and Voyager probes, the Galileo Jupiter orbiter, the Cassini-Huygens Saturn orbiter and lander, the New Horizons outer-planet flyby mission, and the Dawn asteroid-belt mission. Belongs here: a robotic mission whose target is an outer planet, an asteroid or a comet, or a mission surveying multiple such bodies. Does not belong here: a robotic mission targeting the Moon, Mars or Venus, grouped under their own subcategories.
