Voyages between worlds
Interplanetary missions are spacecraft expeditions that travel between planets in a solar system.
These include flybys, orbiters, landers, and rovers sent to study other worlds: The Mars interplanetary missions have revealed evidence of ancient water.
The term distinguishes such ventures from missions confined to Earth orbit or the Moon.
