Jupiter missions Saturn missions Uranus missions Neptune missions

Minor planets[edit]

There have been thity two overall missions towards minor planets, with four of them being flyby missions that were not intended to explore minor planets, marked in grey background.[1][2]

Many minor planets are in two domains:

  • Asteroid belt, between 2–3 AU (0.30–0.45 billion km)
  • Kuiper belt, between 30–60 AU (4.5–9.0 billion km)
