Interstellar probes such as the Voyager program were made only with the intent to visit the outer planets, with the added interstellar mission as a mere bonus. Their lifetime had never been expected to be much longer than 12 years at the most, but the probes have lasted for upwards of four decades thus far.
Interstellar Heliopause Probe (IHP) (2006) A technology reference study published in 2006 with the ESA proposed an interstellar probe focused on leaving the heliosphere. The goal would be 200 AU in 25 years, with traditional launch but acceleration by a solar sail. The roughly 200–300 kg probe would carry a suite of several instruments ...
Project Dragonfly is the first conceptual design study that assesses the feasibility of a laser-propelled interstellar probe, conducted by the Initiative for Interstellar Studies. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Contrary to past unmanned interstellar mission studies such as Project Daedalus and Project Icarus , the focus is particularly on a small spacecraft. [ 4 ]
Apex Legends features a map named Olympus, a vibrant futuristic city flying high above the planet Psamathe. Various floating islands are featured in Genshin Impact. The most notable of these is the mysterious floating island known as Celestia (Chinese: 天空岛) which looms high in the skies over Teyvat, and is said to be "the realm of the ...
Interstellar Probe is the name of a 1999 space probe concept by NASA intended to travel out 200 AU in 15 years. [1] This 1999 study by Jet Propulsion Laboratory is noted for its circular 400-meter-diameter solar sail as a propulsion method (1 g/m 2) combined with a 0.25 AU flyby of the Sun to achieve higher solar light pressure, after which the sail is jettisoned at 5 AU distance from the Sun.

Star Probe is a science fiction game written by John Snider and published in 1975 by TSR, Inc. with artwork by Paul Snider. It was to be the first of a series of interconnected space games, followed Star Empires. [1] The game consists of a 36-page rulebook with a map and counters that players use in their quest for interstellar exploration.
Starlight aims to accelerate the spacecraft with powerful lasers, a method the project refers to as DEEP-IN (Directed Energy Propulsion for Interstellar Exploration), [2] thus allowing them to reach stars near the Solar System in a matter of years, in contrast to traditional propulsion methods which would require thousands of years.
