Nice list! Thank-you.
An offered contribution... Since this list is clearly not limited to
JPL misssions, and since I notice the anniversary of Mariner 10's
flyby of Venus (a worthy commemoration!), should we add the Dec '93
15th anniversary of Pioneer Venus' arrival at Venus to the list? Seems
worthy enough in view of the orbiter's longevity (It was "still
ticking" when Magellan arrived 13 years later) and the multiprobe's
pioneering (so to speak) cross-section of the atmosphere.
