<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2> <h3>Planetary exploration</h3> <p>The NASA <a href="/facts/InSight/tFjy03P6">InSight</a> seismology probe was launched in May 2018 and landed on Mars in November. The <a href="/facts/Parker_Solar_Probe/MDCAJsnl">Parker Solar Probe</a> was launched to explore the <a href="/facts/Sun/CadPCVHh">Sun</a> in August 2018, and reached its first perihelion in November, traveling faster than any prior spacecraft. On 20 October the <a href="/facts/ESA/L8YRNV0C">ESA</a> and <a href="/facts/JAXA/ofUpflgf">JAXA</a> launched <a href="/facts/BepiColombo/1PjF6HYc">BepiColombo</a> to <a href="/facts/Mercury_(planet)/lVa1GIyX">Mercury</a>, on a 10-year mission featuring several flybys and eventually deploying two orbiters in 2025 for local study.
