Here's my map of all active and future Solar System Missions as of November 1st 2018.
This month Parker Solar Probe will set a new record for the closest ever approach to the Sun, provisionally achiving a sizzling 0.166 AU on its first perihelion on November 5. Of course, it will improve on that record on pretty much every subsequent perihelion.
On November 26 we'll have an EDL at Mars by InSIGHT, and the first ever Cubesat Mars-flyby of MarCO probes, OSIRIS-REx is on final approach to Asteroid Bennu, arriving in December. Hayabusa 2 at Asteroid Ryugu is nearing Solar conjunction and will be silent for a while.
And still #WakeUpOppy #SaveOppy, pretty please!
Data, images and documentation are available on my space exploration history GitHub repository and the associated website.
