Man made objects returned to Earth

Non-exhaustive list of interplanetary artificial objects that were either intentionally brought back to Earth intact (e.g. Apollo Command Modules) or incinerated into the atmosphere at some point into their missions (e.g. Luna 3 came back down to Earth after its trip around the Moon). They are not in space anymore but are listed on this table for the record as they were part of interplanetary missions.

Over 150 artificial objects have been identified. Spacecraft that made it intact all the way down to the surface are highlighted in bold; most of them are now displayed in museums.
