The Lunar Prospector did not visit another planet; it was a spacecraft designed to study the Moon. Launched in 1998, it orbited the Moon and conducted various scientific observations, including mapping the lunar surface and searching for water ice in permanently shadowed craters. Its mission provided valuable data about the Moon's composition and resources.
