That's a completely different part of NASA. This is planetary science. Which is made up of uncrewed interplanetary spacecraft missions. Examples being: Cassini, Juno, New Horizons, Curiosity, Perseverance, DART, Lucy, Neowise, Osiris-Rex, etc. In general these missions have been considered to be extremely cost effective and well run.
