Titan Dragonfly
mission planned by NASA to explore Saturn's moon Titan with a robotic aircraft
Mars sample return mission
type of spaceflight for samples return
Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging, Plus
DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) is a planned mission for an orbiter and atmospheric probe to the planet Venus. Together with the separate VERITAS mission, which will also study Venus, it was selected by NASA on June 2, 2021, to be part of their Discovery Program. Its acronym is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci in honor of his scientific innovations, aerial sketches and constructions.
Titan Saturn System Mission
joint NASA–ESA proposal for an exploration of Saturn and its moons Titan and Enceladus

Enceladus Life Finder
Proposed Saturnian moon orbiter
Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission
proposed space observatory to characterize exoplanets' atmospheres and their discovery.
OCEANUS
OCEANUS (Origins and Composition of the Exoplanet Analog Uranus System) is a mission concept conceived in 2016 and presented in 2017 as a potential future contestant as a New Frontiers program mission to the planet Uranus. The concept was developed in a different form by the astronautical engineering students of Purdue University during the 2017 NASA/JPL Planetary Science Summer School. OCEANUS is an orbiter, which would enable a detailed study of the structure of the planet's magnetosphere and interior structure that would not be possible with a flyby mission.
Lynx X-ray Surveyor
X-ray observatory
Gravity and Extreme Magnetism Small Explorer
cancelled NASA mission
