Landings on other planets
- Landings on other planets
This is a list of all spacecraft landings on other planets and bodies in the solar system, including both intended and unintended crash-landings. The list includes orbiters that were intentionally impacted, but not orbiters that later crashed in an unplanned manner due to orbit decay.
For a list of all planetary missions, including orbiters and flybys, see List of Solar System probes.
