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 .
First Chinese lunar landing Chang'e 5-T1: China 13 January 2015 Returned to Earth on 31 October 2014 Chang'e 4: China 12 December 2018 Landed on lunar surface 3 January 2019. The Queqiao relay satellite was placed in an Earth-Moon L 2 halo orbit. First lunar far-side landing Longjiang-2 microsatellite China 25 May 2018 Deorbited 2019 Beresheet ...
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.

In 2020 China conducted its first lunar sample return mission with Chang'e-5, retrieving samples from the moon's near-facing side. The U.S., with its Artemis program, also envisions a crewed moon ...
Presumed crash landing and failure. Chandrayaan-3: Pragyan: ISRO: 23 August 2023 3] 12 days 101.4 m (333 ft) [4] as of 2 September 2023: Successful First rover to successfully operate near lunar south pole. SLIM: LEV-1 JAXA: 19 January 2024
Solar System space probes operational as of November 2024. This is a list of active space probes which have escaped Earth orbit.It includes lunar space probes, but does not include space probes orbiting at the Sun–Earth Lagrangian points (for these, see List of objects at Lagrangian points).
The bodies of two people were found inside the landing gear of a JetBlue plane that landed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Monday, the airline said. 2 dead bodies discovered in landing gear of ...
