LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) is a planned space-based gravitational-wave observatory led by the European Space Agency in partnership with NASA. It will consist of three spacecraft arranged in a triangular constellation trailing the Earth in solar orbit, exchanging laser beams to detect...
Why this score
Potentially revolutionary gravitational wave observatory has exceptional scientific endorsement and successful precursor technology, but complexity and distant operations remain untested.

DAVINCI, an acronym for Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging, is a planned NASA planetary science mission. Selected as part of the Discovery Program, the mission consists of a descent sphere that will parachute through the dense atmosphere of Venus to measure it...
Why this score
Ambitious atmospheric descent investigation could transform understanding of Venusian history; strong scientific rationale, balanced by demanding entry conditions and incomplete execution.

NEO Surveyor is a planned infrared space telescope developed by NASA, with a scheduled launch in 2027. Designed to operate in a heliocentric orbit, the mission aims to detect, track, and characterize potentially hazardous near-Earth objects, including asteroids and comets. By utilizing infrared sens...
Why this score
High value planetary defense telescope addresses a major detection gap with broad expert support; delayed development and lack of flight results limit present scoring.

Tianwen-3 is a planned Mars sample return mission developed by the China National Space Administration (CNSA). Building upon the success of the Tianwen-1 orbiter and rover, this mission aims to land on the Martian surface, collect soil and rock samples, and return them to Earth for laboratory analys...
Why this score
Exceptionally ambitious Mars sample return plan could deliver historic science, but technical complexity, planetary protection, schedule, and independent verification remain major uncertainties.

EnVision is a planned Venus orbiter mission selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of its Cosmic Vision program. Scheduled for launch in the 2030s, the spacecraft will conduct comprehensive radar imaging of Venus's surface and atmospheric studies to investigate the planet's geologic his...
Why this score
Well regarded Venus radar and spectroscopy concept complements other missions and addresses major geological questions; execution and data quality remain unproven.

Chandrayaan-4 is a planned lunar sample-return mission led by the Indian Space Research Organisation. Its objective is to land near the Moon's south polar region, collect surface material, launch that material from the lunar surface, and return it safely to Earth for laboratory analysis. The mission...
Why this score
Ambitious lunar sample return architecture would significantly advance Indian capabilities, but its complex docking and return sequence remains unproven.

Lunar Gateway is a planned crew-capable space station intended to operate in orbit around the Moon as part of NASA's Artemis program. Developed with international and commercial partners, it is designed to support lunar missions, scientific research, communications, and preparations for exploration...
Why this score
Potentially valuable lunar logistics and science platform with strong international participation; shifting schedules, limited initial capability, and unresolved cost benefit debates constrain confidence.

Gaganyaan is the Indian Space Research Organisation's human-spaceflight programme, designed to place Indian astronauts in low Earth orbit and return them safely to Earth. The planned crewed mission uses an Indian launch vehicle, a crew module, and a service module, with the spacecraft intended to su...
Why this score
Major national human spaceflight program with extensive testing and strong symbolic value; repeated delays and absent crewed flight evidence constrain assessment.

Tolyatti is a city in Samara Oblast, Russia, situated on the left bank of the Volga River. It was known as Stavropol until 1964, when it was renamed in honor of Palmiro Togliatti, an Italian communist politician. The modern city expanded during the Soviet period alongside the construction and growth...
The Mars Sample Return Campaign is a NASA and European Space Agency effort designed to bring Martian geological material to Earth for laboratory study. The samples were collected and sealed by NASA's Perseverance rover in Jezero Crater, where they record aspects of the planet's rocks and past enviro...
Why this score
Potentially transformative laboratory science is undermined by severe cost growth, schedule uncertainty, redesigns, and unresolved architecture and funding commitments.

Volzhsky is a city in Volgograd Oblast, Russia, located on the eastern bank of the Volga River near Volgograd. It developed during the Soviet period alongside the construction and operation of the Volga Hydroelectric Station and associated industrial facilities. The city has a planned urban layout a...
MOM-2 is India's planned second interplanetary mission by ISRO to explore Mars, serving as the successor to the successful Mangalyaan orbiter launched in 2013.
Why this score
Ambitious successor concept benefits from Mangalyaan's reputation, but changing plans and incomplete execution leave scientific quality and feasibility unproven.

Magnitogorsk, located in the Chelyabinsk Oblast of Russia, was founded in 1930 as a key industrial center and became renowned for its massive iron and steel production during Soviet industrialization.
Frequently Asked Questions
What leads the Planned ranking?
LISA currently leads the Planned results with a displayed score of 8.18/10. This is an editorial ranking result for the items included on this page, not a universal verdict for every use case.
How should I read the score and confidence label?
The 0 to 10 score is Lunoo's ranking judgment. Strong confidence means 10 or more recorded comparison checks, some means 2 to 9, and provisional means fewer than 2.
What supports this ranking?
Lunoo combines category fit, feature coverage, pricing and value signals, public reception, recency, and peer comparisons. Public source links support factual item details when available, but they are not required for membership in this 13-item ranking.
Can I compare the leading results for Planned?
Yes. The comparison links put adjacent leaders side by side so you can inspect differences that one ranking score cannot capture.
