Juno Probe - Artist's View - Juno Artist's Rendering - Artist's View of Juno Probe in orbit around Jupiter. Launch in 2011, the Juno probe will reach Jupiter in 2016. Launching from Earth in 2011, the Juno spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter in 2016 to study the giant planet from an elliptical, polar orbit. Juno will repeatedly dive between the planet and its intense belts of charged particle radiation, coming only 5,000 kilometers (about 3,000 miles) from the cloud tops at closest approach. Juno's primary goal is to improve our understanding of Jupiter's formation and evolution. The spacecraft will spend a year investigating the planet's origins, interior structure, deep atmosphere and magnetosphere. Juno's study of Jupiter will help us to understand the history of our own solar system and provide new insight into how planetary systems form and develop in our galaxy and beyond

Launched in 1988, both probes lost contact with Earth. Only Phobos 2 managed to get into orbit around Mars and collect data, including 38 photographs. The Phobos program was an unmanned space mission consisting of two soviet probes launched in 1988 to study Mars and its moons Phobos and Deimos.

Probe Penetrator Mars 96 - Penetrator of the Mars 96 spacecraft - Cross-section view of one of the two penetrators of the Mars 96 probe. Numerous measuring instruments were incorporated. The lower part was to sink several metres into the Martian soil. Launched in 1996, the probe could not leave Earth orbit and disintegrate. Cutaway of a penetrator deployed on the martian surface showing the different experiments in the forebody and in the afterbody. The forebody should be separated from the afterbody and dive several meters into the martian soil. Launched in 1996, a rocket failure happened and the probe was desintegrated in the Earth atmosphere
