Timelines are divided into three categories -- Planetary Science, Astrophysics and Heliophysics.
Operational mission durations are shown with filled blue, brown (Mars missions) and gray (Lunar missions) bars. Future missions under implementation are shown with a green bullet
. Missions under study, pre-formulation or formulation are shown with a gray bullet
, and then a light blue bar as expected duration.
Please note that these are probable mission durations and serve as guidance only.
