Solar System Missions Update 2020-02

Here's my map of all active and future Solar System Missions as of February 1st 2020.

This Month ESA's Solar Orbiter will be launched, likely on the 8th. OSIRISREx will fly over its backup sample collection site 'Osprey' at 620m altitude on the 11th, Juno performs the 25th perijove on the 17th.

New on the list is the Near-Earth Object surveillance mission NEOSM, that finally got approved to find all the Potentially Hayardous Objects (PHAs). Finally, though as an astrophysics telescope it's not featured on the map, goodbye and thank for all the pics, Spitzer!

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