This is a list of all spacecraft landings on other planets and bodies in the Solar System, including soft landings and both intended and unintended hard impacts.The list includes orbiters that were intentionally crashed, but not orbiters which later crashed in an unplanned manner due to orbital decay.
Landing Location Ref. 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko: Philae: 100 kg (220 lb) ESA/DLR: 12 November 2014 "Abydos" Rosetta: 1,230 kg (2,710 lb) ESA 30 September 2016 "Sais" 433 Eros: NEAR Shoemaker: 487 kg (1,074 lb) NASA/APL: 12 February 2001: South of Himeros crater [1] 25143 Itokawa: Hayabusa target marker 0.6 kg (1.3 lb) [citation needed] JAXA ...
The crash landing sites themselves are of interest to space archeology. Luna 1 , not itself a lunar orbiter, was the first spacecraft designed as an impactor . It failed to hit the Moon in 1959, however, thus inadvertently becoming the first man-made object to leave geocentric orbit and enter a heliocentric orbit , where it remains.

This is a list of the projected landing zones on extraterrestrial bodies. The size of the ellipse or oval graphically represents statistical degrees of uncertainty, i.e. the confidence level of the landing point, with the center of the ellipse being calculated as the most likely given the plethora of variables.
