Mission Atlas follows the robotic missions sent to explore the solar system and to look out beyond it: where each spacecraft is right now, and how it got there. It covers 100 missions from 16 space agencies, from Luna 2 in 1959 to missions still on their way.
Launch times and spacecraft details come from Jonathan McDowell's General Catalog of Artificial Space Objects. Positions come from NASA JPL's Horizons system and are refreshed every day. Pictures come from Wikimedia Commons. Mission details are checked against the agencies' own pages and NASA's space science data archive.
Mission Atlas is designed and built by Haygen Warren.
