Solar System Missions update 2022-11

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

OK, maybe this month, for really really real: Artemis 1 will finally launch to a near rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO) at the Moon as the first test of the giant SLS rocket. The recently launched Korean Danuri and US Capstone Moon missions will reach lunar orbit in December and November, respectively.

The private iSpace Hakuto R1 Lander together with the NASA Lunar Flashlight orbiter will also launch this month toward the Moon.

Finally, the Parker Solar Probe will perform its 14th perihelion at a distance of 0.0615 AU, or 9.2 million km.

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