Explanation:
There are four main categories of classifications when determining the type of celestial body an object is. These classifications are: terrestrial planets(Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars), gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn), ice giants (Uranus and Neptune), and dwarf planets (Pluto, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake).

Spacecraft Classification
12.18.03
Robotic spacecraft are specially designed and constructed systems that can function in specific hostile environments. Their complexity and capabilities vary greatly and their purposes are diverse. To make some sense of all these variables, this chapter arbitrarily designates eight broad classes of robotic spacecraft according to the missions the spacecraft are intended to perform:
1. Flyby spacecraft
2. Orbiter spacecraft
3. Atmospheric spacecraft
4. Lander spacecraft
5. Rover spacecraft
6. Penetrator spacecraft
7. Observatory spacecraft
8. Communications spacecraft
We illustrate these eight classes by offering one prime example of each pictured on this page and, in most cases, some additional linked examples. Be sure to select and read each prime example, plus several additional links. The JPL public website has an up-to-date listing of all past, current, future and proposed JPL robotic spacecraft missions. Spacecraft that carry human occupants are not considered here.
