No other discovery mission proposed in response to the Announcement of Opportunity was considered for concept study and therefore no Discovery mission was selected for this opportunity (although a mission of opportunity was selected (Moon Mineralogy Mapper) as part of the AO in 2004). The next Announcement of Opportunity for a Discovery mission was released on January 3, 2006. There were three finalists for this Discovery selection including 4007: 224: 9844: 9623: 33: 3326: 4080: 3980: 3677: 3555: 2467: 212: 3435: 3335: 2175: 3761: 3752: 3650: 3308: 3998: 3641: 57: 3971: 3797: 11678: 3788: 3453: 3537: 3668: 3659: 3883: 4116: 2678: 9388: 1720: 191: 3564: 3874: 3462: 3444: 3299: 4098: 3344: 3779: 11690: 2885: 2400: 1943: 3426: 3770: 3317: 458:, thus becoming the first rover to operate outside the Earth-Moon system. It carried a series of scientific instruments to analyze the Martian atmosphere, climate, geology and the composition of its rocks and soil. It completed its primary and extended mission and after over 80 days, the last signal was sent on September 27, 1997. The mission was terminated on March 10, 1998. 2316: 936:. The resulting impact plume was observed by the spacecraft and other space-based observatories. The 2007 Stardust spacecraft NExT mission determined the resulting crater's diameter to be 150 meters (490 ft). After the successful completion of its mission, the main spacecraft was put in hibernation before being reactivated for a new mission designated 176: 1056:, and began its lowest orbit on December 16. In June 2016 it was approved for an extended mission at Ceres. On October 19, 2017, NASA announced that the mission would be extended until its hydrazine fuel ran out, which occurred on October 31, 2018. The spacecraft is currently in an uncontrolled orbit around Ceres. 2444:. A series of proposals limited to missions to a near-Earth asteroid missions were reviewed in 1991. What would be the NEAR spacecraft mission was formally selected in December 1993, after which began a 2-year development period prior to launch.

It was a finalist in the 1999 Discovery selection, with a planned launch in 2001 and return of the samples by 2006. Sample collection was intended to work by sending projectiles into the moons, then collecting the ejecta by means of a collector spacecraft flyby. 9238:
