Nice. These missions that tell us the basics about objects in the Solar System are more useful than, say, re-visiting the moon or Mars.

Venus and Europa could use some attention. Anything underway?

There is also NASA's upcoming mission to Titan, where they plan to fly an octocopter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfly_(Titan_space_probe)

All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landing there.

Apparently five Venus missions (DAVINCI, VERITAS, Envision, Venus Life Finder, and Venus Orbiter) all in the next five years or so: https://www.space.com/astronomy/venus/these-5-venus-missions...

For Europa, Europa Clipper Mission (already on the way): https://science.nasa.gov/mission/europa-clipper/mission-time...

... and JUICE (already on the way): https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Juice

There might be others, those are just what I found in a quick search.

Europa clipper launched 2 years ago arrives in 2030. DAVINCI, a Venusian probe, is slated net 2033

Sample return from Venus is practically impossible with our current tech.

JAXA does great work, they also publish the highest resolution open access global surface elevation model. Really impressive for a country with about 1/10th the GDP of the US.

I hope they make some photos of Phobos monolith: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phobos_monolith

I wonder how this mission compares in scale to the JAXA Hayabusa comet interceptor done twenty years ago.
