Future Space Events of Note

This is a list of future space events that I'm planning to keep an eye on. Have any suggestions for additions? For help using/interpreting my calendar, see below.

This calendar combines five distinct Google calendars, one from Google and the other four maintained by me:

• Phases of the Moon (maintained by Google)
• Astronomical events (currently only contains Mars seasonal events, I'm planning to add more)
• Mission events (launches, targeted flybys, etc.)
• Planetary science meetings (not an exhaustive list; for that, see here)
• Cassini tour events (includes apoapses & periapses, ring plane crossings, conjunctions, and flybys. Distances are sometimes listed in "Rs," Saturn radii, where 1 Rs = 60,330 km.)

You can use the little triangle at the top right corner of the calendar widget to turn individual calendars on or off.
