The craft are further grouped by mission status – "en-route", "mission in progress" or "mission complete" – based on their primary mission. For example, though Voyager 1 is still contactable en-route to the Oort Cloud and has exited the Solar System , it is listed as "mission complete" because its primary task of studying Jupiter and Saturn ...
