Clementine:
Clementine (Deep Space Program Science Experiment, DSPSE) gave scientists their first total look at the the Moon's landscape. The spacecraft also found signs of a large deposit of ice in a permanently shadowed crater on the Moon's south pole.

Clementine completed its mission of 297 lunar orbits. A planned asteroid encounter was cancelled due to a thruster malfunction that burned up its remaining fuel.
