The exploration of the planets of the solar system using robotic vehicles began in the early 1960s. Over the years that followed, planetary mission objectives became increasingly sophisticated, as the early single-planet flybys gave way to planetary orbiters, multi-planet flybys, and atmospheric entry and landing missions. During this time the navigational capabilities employed in these missions increased greatly in accuracy, as required by the scientific objectives of the missions and as enabled by improvements in technology.
