Open JUICE (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.

ESA → Ganymede (en route). En route to the Jupiter system; Jupiter arrival announced ~2031, a dedicated Ganymede orbit phase announced from ~2034. Studies Ganymede, Callisto and Europa. The flown spacecraft is catalogued separately (COSPAR 2023-053A). Flown spacecraft catalogued separately as COSPAR 2023-053A; this marker is the mission annotation at its target. Cross-referenced to Launch Library 2 launch 4066e51e-93ce-46f7-9806-9d2d712107a6 (The Space Devs) — the matching LL2 upcoming-launch marker is suppressed at bake (one rendering per mission). [ESA JUICE mission (esa.int/juice; launch 2023-04-14); checked 2026-07-21]

These are absences in the catalogues aggregated here, not measurements of zero, and not statements that the quantity is unknown to science:
| Database | Future missions (curated) |
|---|---|
| Authority | Public mission announcements (NASA/ESA mission pages) · Launch Library 2 cross-refs (The Space Devs) · JPL Horizons predicted ephemerides |
| Licence | Public record |
| How it entered | Curated data-as-code (src/ingest/catalogs/missions.ts) — quarterly manual curation |
| Coverage | Announced / en-route missions placed as planned-marker annotations on their target bodies (no invented trajectory; existence from the announced window-lo / launch year only when public). Each row carries its cited status/window + the LL2 launch UUID where one exists (the dedup key against the launchlibrary layer — one rendering per mission); a launched mission cross-references its flown COSPAR object. Published PREDICTED trajectories ride the flown object via the horizons-predicted layer, never this marker. |
