NASA SIMPLEx missions

Target entity: NASA SIMPLEx missions
Context triple: [NASA Flagship Program, distinguishedFrom, NASA SIMPLEx missions]

• A. NASA Discovery Program
  The NASA Discovery Program is a series of competitively selected, cost-capped planetary science missions designed to achieve high scientific return with relatively small, focused spacecraft.
• B. NASA space missions
  NASA space missions are government-led space exploration and research endeavors that deploy spacecraft, satellites, and probes to study Earth, the solar system, and the broader universe.
• C. Mariner planetary missions
  The Mariner planetary missions were a series of NASA robotic space probes launched in the 1960s and 1970s to conduct the first detailed flybys and studies of Venus, Mars, and Mercury.
• D. NASA mission directorates
  NASA mission directorates are the major organizational divisions within NASA responsible for planning and overseeing the agency’s key scientific, exploration, aeronautics, and technology programs.
• E. Spacelab missions
  Spacelab missions were a series of reusable laboratory flights carried in the Space Shuttle’s payload bay that enabled astronauts to conduct extensive microgravity and scientific research in Earth orbit.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
