Uncrewed spacecraft sent beyond Earth orbit to fly by, orbit, land on or otherwise study another body without a human crew aboard, from planetary flyby missions to interstellar probes. Belongs here: any robotic craft whose mission target lies beyond low Earth orbit. Does not belong here: robotic craft that stay in Earth orbit, grouped under Satellite, or craft that land and then rove across a surface under their own power, grouped under Mars Rover or Lunar Rover once that distinction applies.
