Abstract: The paper deals with an overview of space missions to explore the inner region of the Solar System, the nearest on time of their launch, namely, Probe Plus, Solar Orbiter, BepiColombo, EXOMars, and InSight. Each of them will study either the Sun or the planet of the Earth group. Their launches are planned for 2018–2020. We describe briefly predestination and technical equipment of spacecrafts, flight plan and scientific goal of these missions.
