- Small Innovative Missions for Planetary Exploration (SIMPLEx) is a planetary exploration program operated by NASA. The mission builds small, low-cost spacecraft for stand-alone planetary exploration missions. These spacecraft launch as secondary payloads on other missions. The missions are riskier than Discovery or New Frontiers missions. The program selects missions from multiple proposals and gives them some money to begin development. After early development they are analyzed to see if they are cost-effective and scientifically valuable during Key Decision Point-C. If they pass Key Decision Point-C then they move into full development. The missions must weigh less than 180 kg. So far only the first two missions have launched, and the remaining missions have struggled to stay within budget and find missions to launch with, and have been removed from multiple launches. (en)
