Solar System Missions update 2024-08

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

So NASA's VIPER lunar rover mission has been cancelled, but the fight to save it is going on. Meanwhile, the JUICE Jupiter mission will performe unique consecutive Earth and Moon flybys this Month. NASA's Europa Clipper and ESA's Hera are getting ready for launch to Jupiter and asteroid Didimos respectively.

NASA's Juno has it's 64th perijove at Jupiter. Starliner may return to Earth.

I'm still waiting for news from the Japanese Akatsuki Venus mission, which has problems since April.

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