Details of all satellites launched into orbit about the Earth have been published in The RAE Table of Earth Satellites, 1957-1980 (Macmillan Press, 1981). The present report offers a similar listing, though in a different format, of all space vehicles that escaped from the Earth's influence as a result of the 109 space launchings during the years 1958-1980. Whenever possible, the following details are given for each component: name, international designation, date of launch, mass, basic shape and size, details of orbit or trajectory, and, where appropriate, the time and place or impact or landing on the Moon or a planet. The table is in six sections: (A) orbits around the Sun; (B) in the Earth-Moon system; (C) and (D) around the Moon; (E) around Mars; and (F) around Venus. (Author)
