Below is a list of Small Innovative Missions for PLanetary EXploration (SIMPLEx) series spacecraft, including launch dates and links to information on the spacecraft. If readers know of additional information, please contact the authors using the e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.
Since all SIMPLEx-series spacecraft have other names as well, launch covers and other postal items for these spacecraft are found under those other names.
