Solar System Missions Update 2021-06

Here's my map of all active and future Solar System Missions as of June 1st 2021.

The Chinese Zhurong rover has landed on Mars and even send back some images! (#SarkasmOff) Ingenuity keeps on flyin' and is now tagging along with Perseverance as long as it'll last.

In Moon news, well, DOGE-1... that's a thing now, launch in 2022. The Intuitive Machines NOVA-C lander will launch in January 2022 and the second mission PRIME-1 or NOVA-C IM-2 in December 2022.

On to Jupiter, whre JunoJuno has its next perijove (#34) on the 7th, and a Ganymede flyby at 3676km distance.

Finally, I made an important decision about the size of the published graphic: larger! To be precise 1920 by 1430 pixels, that sounded cromulent to me.

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