Minor planets
editThere have been thity two overall missions towards minor planets, with four of them being flyby missions that were not intended to explore minor planets, marked in grey background.[1][2]
Many minor planets are in two domains:
- Asteroid belt, between 2–3 AU (0.30–0.45 billion km)
- Kuiper belt, between 30–60 AU (4.5–9.0 billion km)
