Abstract: Deep-space exploration has made significant progress in recent years, with several missions pushing the limits of the knowledge of the solar system. The aims of this study are to analyze recent advances in deep-space exploration, emphasizing significant missions and the cutting-edge instruments they use. The study analyzes the scientific contributions made by the technological facilities and cutting-edge spacecraft used in the major space programs. By examining these programs and instruments, their feasibility in studying planetary surfaces, atmospheres and the wider space environment is discussed. The findings emphasize the critical role of future AI autonomous systems, advancing technological innovations and international cooperation in driving deep-space exploration forward. The significance of this study is that it summarizes the current state of deep-space exploration today and anticipates further advances, and that continued advances in the field of advanced technology will provide a powerful aid to human exploration of outer space and gradually deepen the understanding of the solar system.
