 The only objects to date to be launched directly into a solar escape trajectory were the "New Horizons" spacecraft, its third stage, and the two de-spin masses.The "New Horizons" Centaur (second) stage is not escaping; it is in a 2.83-year heliocentric (solar) orbit.The "Pioneer 10" and "11", and "Voyager 1" and "2" Centaur (second) stages are also in heliocentric orbits.
