A more ambitious, nuclear-powered version was intended for an unmanned Jupiter mission, the Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter ( JIMO ), originally planned for launch sometime in the next decade.

Further flights tests are planned for the coming years ( e. g. MIRIAM II ) with the objective of qualifying ARCHIMEDES for its Mars mission by 2018.

Originally, a Mariner 11 and Mariner 12 were planned as part of the Mariner program, however, due to congressional budget cuts, the mission was scaled back to be a flyby of Jupiter and Saturn, and renamed the Mariner Jupiter-Saturn probes.

The organizers of the September 11, 2001 attacks apparently planned and coordinated their mission in face to face meetings and used little or no electronic communication.

Had Columbia not been destroyed, it would have been fitted with the external airlock / docking adapter for STS-118, an International Space Station assembly mission, originally planned for November 2003.

Following the Columbia accident, NASA flew the STS-125 mission using Atlantis, combining the planned fourth and fifth servicing missions into one final visit to Hubble.

Had the planned STS-62-A mission from Vandenberg Air Force Base in 1986 for the United States Department of Defense gone ahead, Discovery would have flown it.

The STS-134 mission was originally planned as the final mission of the Space Shuttle program, but with authorization of the STS-135 mission, Atlantis became the last Space Shuttle to fly.

With the Discovery launch moving to November, Endeavour mission " cannot fly as planned, so the next available launch window is in February 2011 ," NASA said, adding that the launch dates are subject to change.

Operation Gibraltar was codename of an airborne mission to infiltrate in Indian Kashmir, and was originally planned to executed by Army ( Special Service Group ) and PAF ( Special Service Wing ).

The mission, which the men named Apollo 1 in June, was originally planned for late 1966 ( perhaps concurrent with the last Gemini mission ), but delays in the spacecraft development pushed the launch into 1967.

* Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, a planned space mission

EM-2 is 10-14 day mission planned to place a crew of four into Lunar orbit.

Mission San Buenaventura was planned to be founded in 1770, but the founding was delayed because of the low availability of the military escorts needed to establish the mission.

" Originally planned as an asistencia (" sub-mission ") to Mission San Rafael Arcángel, it is the northernmost Alta California Franciscan mission ( an attempt to found a twenty-second mission in Santa Rosa in 1827 was aborted ).

From this group the commander of the planned Voskhod mission scheduled for late 1964 would be chosen.

The initial mission demonstration in 2009 was preparatory to the more-advanced cryogenic fluid management experiments planned for the Centaur-based CRYOTE technology development program in 2012-2014 and to a higher-TRL design for the Advanced Common Evolved Stage Centaur successor.

* 1962 – The Mariner 2 unmanned space mission is launched to Venus by NASA.

The mission was re-profiled to use several gravitational slingshots, referred to as the " VEEGA " or Venus Earth Earth Gravity Assist maneuvers, to provide the additional velocity required to reach its destination.

An earlier project which received some significant planning by NASA included a manned fly-by of Venus in the Manned Venus Flyby mission, but was cancelled when the Apollo Applications Program was terminated due to NASA budget cuts in the late 1960s.

* Marvin the Martian ( 1948 ) is one of Looney Tunes ' most prominent characters, a soft-spoken villain, whose mission throughout his appearances is to destroy Earth because it " Obstructs his view of Venus ".

* 2005 – The Venus Express mission of the European Space Agency is launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

* 1975 – The Soviet unmanned space mission Venera 9 lands on Venus.

* Vega 1 – Balloon release into Venus atmosphere and lander ( joint mission with Vega 2 ), mothership continued on to fly by Halley's Comet

The primary mission was to receive communications from the spacecraft in the vicinity of Venus and to perform a radiometric temperature measurements of the planet.

Launched on July 22, 1962 as a Venus flyby mission, a range safety officer ordered its destructive abort at 09: 26: 16 UT, 294. 5 seconds after launch.

Regardless of whatever may have given rise to initial reports of a " missing hyphen ", the simplest and most consistent-sounding explanation that the public and Congress would accept would probably have been preferable to those who simply wanted to get on with the job of a Venus fly-by mission.

Mariner 5 was actually built as a backup to Mariner 4, but after the success of the Mariner 4 mission, it was modified for the Venus mission by removing the TV camera, reversing and reducing the four solar panels, and adding extra thermal insulation.

The voyage then progressed to Tahiti ( where the transit of Venus was observed, the overt purpose of the mission ), to New Zealand and to the east coast of Australia, where Cook mapped the coastline and made landfall at Botany Bay and at Endeavour River ( near modern Cooktown ) in Queensland, where they spent almost seven weeks ashore while the ship was repaired after becoming holed on the Great Barrier Reef.

* NASA's Venus In-Situ Explorer mission to Venus ( part of the New Frontiers program ).

After the success of the Venus VEGA balloons, Blamont focused on a more ambitious balloon mission to Mars, to be carried on a Soviet space probe.

One mission concept, the Venus Aerobot Multisonde ( VAMS ), envisions an aerobot operating at altitudes above that would drop surface probes, or " sondes ", onto specific surface targets.

However, the Cassini – Huygens mission fly-by of Venus in 1999 detected no signs of lightning at all.

The Pioneer mission to Venus comprised two components, launched separately.

In May 1992, Pioneer Venus began the final phase of its mission, in which the periapsis was held between 150 and 250 km, until the fuel ran out and atmospheric entry destroyed the spacecraft the following August.

Kosmos 27 ( meaning Cosmos 27 ) was a space mission intended as a Venus flyby.

The MGS used the data gathered from the Magellan mission to Venus to plan its aerobraking technique.

In Robert A. Heinlein's 1948 novel Space Cadet, aerobraking is used to save fuel while slowing the spacecraft Aes Triplex for an unplanned extended mission and landing on Venus, during a transit from the Asteroid Belt to Earth.
