Corrected And Updated Version Of NASA’s Astrobiology Fleet Chart (update)
NASA “Astrobiology Fleet” Chart (uncorrected)
Editor’s note: This Astrobiology Fleet chart was shown by David Grinspoon and Shawn Domagal-Goldman on 22 Mar 2024 at an AAS Goddard Memorial Science Meeting. It is rather incomplete and out of date. We’ve updated it. There’s probably more missions missing.
Editor’s Update: NASA GSFC posted a revised version of this chart that added VERITAS and Europa Clipper alas it is still woefully incomplete. Maybe we’ll make one.
