Space probe comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in November 2014. First probe to Jupiter. Radio communications were lost with Pioneer 10 on January 23, 2003, because of the loss of electric power for its radio transmitter, with the probe at a distance of 12 billion kilometers (80 AU) from Earth. First probe to fly by Saturn. (Communications were later lost due to power constraints and vast distance.) "Voyager 1" is a 733-kilogram probe launched September 5, 1977. It visited Jupiter and Saturn and was the first probe to provide detailed images of the moons of these planets. "Voyager 1" is the farthest human-made object from
Outer Planet Flagship Mission were two primary candidate missions under study: Europa Jupiter System Mission (EJSM) and Titan Saturn System Mission (TSSM). On February 18, 2009 NASA announced that both missions can proceed forward, but the EJSM is to be the first, departing Earth in 2020 and arriving at Jupiter in 2026. The Titan mission is to be launched later. The Europa mission concept has since changed, with the "Europa Clipper" mission to be launched by NASA, with a target launch date of 2022, and a separate European mission Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE). The proposed Titan mission is not currently being developed nor
