Here's my map of all active and future Solar System Missions as of March 1st 2020.
New in space is ESA's Solar Orbiter on the way to its first Venus flyby in December. OSIRISREx will fly over its primary sample collection site 'Nightingale' at 250 m altitude on the 3rd, the closest approach until the actual sample collection.
New on the list is the lunar orbiter mission CAPSTONE, which — can you guess it — stands for 'Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment'.
Another important event happens on the 12th, when the heads of ESA and Roscosmos will decide how to continue with the Exomars Lander/Rover mission, after problems with the parachute system put the July launch date in question.
Data, images and documentation are available on my space exploration history GitHub repository and the associated website.
