Active missions are excluded from the success rate: a live mission has no outcome yet, so counting it would report a rate the records do not support. 0 of the 1 record are still active, leaving 1 concluded. A partial success is a distinct recorded outcome, so it is not counted in the numerator, but it stays in the denominator.

A mission can carry several types, so these figures need not add up either. Types no mission here carries are omitted.

These records in the directory
The directory's destination filter is a category taxonomy, and it has no Ceres key: these records are filed under other alongside every other body of that kind. This page is where the catalog counts Ceres on its own.
View the 12 missions filed under otherThe explorer draws a flight path only where a trajectory dataset is committed. None of the records above carries a committed trajectory dataset, so the explorer has no Ceres path to draw and this page offers no link to one.
