Sacagawea

Sacagawea was a NASA probe.

In 2020, Sacagawea was aboard the USS Lewis & Clark and was sent to intercept C/2018-G2, which was believed to be a comet. When the "comet" suddenly changed course, the Lewis & Clark followed it and abandoned Sacagawea because the probe's thrusters were designed for minor maneuvering, not a chase.
