Solar System Missions update 2022-05

Here's my map of all active and future Solar System Missions as of May 1st 2022.

There are many delays for Lunar missions, Artemis 1 will probably not launch before August, on the other hand all of the NASA Mars missions got extensions for 3 years. And OSIRIS-REx has a new mission after returning the sample capsule with Bennu samples to Earth: Orbiting near Earth asteroid Apophis shortly after its close-approach of Earth in 2029. It will be renamed OSIRIS-ApEx, as in Apophis-Explorer, for that.

In other news, Juno wil have its 42nd perijove on the 21st.

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