Spacecraft Type

This dimension sorts spacecraft by their basic type, such as a crewed capsule, a robotic probe or a satellite. Wikipedia notes that "robotic spacecraft used to support scientific research are space probes" while "robotic spacecraft that remain in orbit around a planetary body are artificial satellites." Browsing by spacecraft type keeps similar kinds of vehicles grouped together.
