✦ Synopsis

A.1 The epoch of planetary exploration

The list below includes only the most important missions, at least as I see them. The date is the one on which the spacecraft reached the planet or moon, rather than the date on which it was launched, which can make a huge difference, especially for missions to the outer Solar System. I have only included future missions if they have already been successfully launched and are now on their way.
