User:Dvp7/Space probes

Here is a (pretty much complete) list of space probes launched by various space agencies including NASA, the ESA, the Japanese Space Agency (whatever it's called) and the Russians (from 1957 onwards). I will probably use some, but if you get in fast or really want to use one of these names, tell me ASAP on my talk page. I have avoided repeating some of the probe names as well.

Beagle (as in Beagle 2, the UK's Mars thing)

Cassini Chandrayaan (Hindi for "moon vehicle") Clementine Cosmos

Dawn

Explorer

Galileo Giotto

Hayabusa (Japanese for "peregrine falcon" bear in mind that Maquis fighters were Peregrine class) Hiten (Japanese for "flying angel") Huygens (part of Cassini)

Juno

Luna Lunokhod (Russian for "moon walker", first remote-controlled rover)

Magellan Mariner

Nozomi (Japanese for "wish")

Pathfinder Phobos (named after a moon of Mars... the other is Deimos, but there's no probe for it)

Ranger Rosetta'

Sakigake (Japanese for "Pioneer" - I already have Pioneer but you can use the Japanese name) Sojourner (first Mars rover, from Pathfinder) Sputnik (the series of Russian probes, included Sputnik 1 which was the first satellite in space) Stardust (no kidding) Suisei (Japanese for "comet"... because it studies comets. Also Japanese name for Mercury) Surveyor

Ulysses

Vega Venera Viking Voyager

Zond (Russian for "probe")

All of these can be found in the list here.
