WE NEED SOME MORE MISSIONS TO THE MOON SO VIKTOR CAN ADD THEM TO THIS NICE PORTAL - LRK -
Viktor's Home Page: Deep Space Probes: "Deep Space Probes
Even as you read this, there are several man-made probes serving as our remote eyes throughout the Solar System. Some perform useful and valuable observations on a daily basis, such as the Solar and Heliocentric Observatory, monitoring the Sun 24 hours a day. Others are living relics from the dawn of space exploration, including the longest-living space probe ever made, NASA's Pioneer 6. Well, maybe this isn't exactly Arthur C. Clarke's vision of the year 2001, with a nuclear-powered manned spaceship en route towards Jupiter, but we are getting there... at least some of our faithful remote outposts are out there already, as a first step towards what I hope will be our eventual conquest of the Solar System and beyond.
These pages provide summary information on all 'live' probes that operate away from the immediate vicinity of the Earth. In other words, probes that are either going somewhere, or are 'looking up', not down."
