Examples
Although generally referred to as "remotely controlled" or "telerobotic", the earliest orbital spacecraft – such as Sputnik 1 and Explorer 1 – did not receive control signals from Earth.
Many space missions are more suited to telerobotic rather than crewed operation, due to lower cost and lower risk factors.
