Other New Mars Missions

UAE Hope Probe      Chinese Orbiter with Lander

China does not appear to have a dedicated page for their information.  Their lander will not deploy until May 2021.

These three missions launched during the 2020 window available to take advantage of the shortest flight time to Mars.  Both of these are already in orbit.  Perseverance had launch delays and launched near the end of the window so is arriving later.

Landed successfully August 6, 2012

NASA and JPL had a campaign back in 2015 to have your name sent to Mars onboard the InSight lander.  I had forgotten about registering until I watched the news conference on You Tube linked above.  My name along with 2.4 million others is going to Mars.   Check the link above to see if you registered.


Mars Exploration Rovers
Spirit and Opportunity

Spirit stopped functioning in 2010 and Opportunity stopped transmitting June 2018 after a planet wide dust storm presumably covered the solar panels with dust.
