... Perhaps the most interesting satellites in this group are the ones sent into distant orbits, some of them extending well past the Moon--e.g. the WIND spacecraft pictured here. Among them is a long series of IMP s (Interplanetary Monitoring Platforms) which sampled the Earth's distant magnetic environment, the magnetosphere, and the surrounding interplanetary region; IMP-8 is still returning good data, more than 20 years after its launch. ...

In 2007-2008, the planet Uranus will reach one of its annual equinoxes for the first time since 1966. As a consequence, its five major satellites orbiting in the equatorial plane will undergo a season of mutual eclipses and occultations very similar to the one that Jupiter's Galilean satellites undergo every 6 years. ... Some of these events occur when Uranus is at conjunction, or the satellite is transiting or too close to the limb of the planet. ... Complete table of events . ...
