NASA missions, past, present and planned – http://www.nasa.gov/missions/index.html

Representative questions that can be answered with this resource:

• What is daily life like on the International Space Station?
• When was the last transmission from Pioneer 10?
• What are the current locations of Voyagers 1 and 2?
• How will the Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway help advance our goal for human space exploration?

Description:

You start with an A-Z listing of all the missions and from there you can narrow your search to Earth, Humans in Space, Solar System, and Universe.  Each mission link has a variety of information often including descriptions of the missions, news articles, fact sheets, images, videos, and sometimes websites/social media links.

This will be useful in stories either set in the era of the mission, or if an aging spacecraft gets recovered by a starship.  There are also links to future missions and directives that can help fuel the imagination.
