Solar System Missions Update 09/2018

Here's my map of all active and future Solar System Missions as of September 1st 2018.

Mars lander InSIGHT and the MarCOs are still cruising towards Mars, Parker Solar Probe has launched and is on track for a Venus flyby in October, and OSIRIS-REx is on it's approach to Asteroid Bennu, arriving in December. But the Solar Systems greatest busybody is still Hayabusa 2 at Asteroid Ryugu with the landing of the MINNERVA 2 rover this month and MASCOT in October, as well as a touchdown of Hayabusa 2 itself on the asteroid.

Data, images and documentation are available on my space exploration history GitHub repository and the associated website.
