Solar System Missions update 2024-02

Here's my map of all active and planned Solar System Missions and their destinations as of February 1st 2024.

The Japanese SLIM (Smart Lander for Investigating Moon) lunar lander hqw landed, went dead, came back, and now is likely gone forever, all in 2 weeks! Also gone are the first Mars helicopter Ingenuity, and the first NASA CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) missions Astrobotic Peregrine. The next CLPS mission Intuitive Machines NOVA-C IM-1 is planned to launch early this month.

Indian ISROs Asitya L1 has arrived at the Earth-Sun Lagrange point L1. Juno has its 58th perijove at Jupiter, this month with the second of two close Io flybys at 1500 km distance.

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