The Mars 2020 rover is scheduled to launch in July, 2020.
That list of Mars missions launching in 2020 is long. It includes NASA’s Mars 2020 rover, the European Space Agency’s ExoMars 2020 rover and surface platform, China’s orbiter/lander/rover, the United Arab Emirates’ Hope orbiter and India’s Mars Orbiter Mission-2.

Above: The 8 finalist logos for the China Mars 2020 mission competition (CMEP).The eight finalist names, many coming from Chinese mythology, are: Fenghuang (phoenix (凤凰)), Tianwen (study of heaven (天问)), Huoxing (Mars (火星)), Tenglong (flying dragon (腾龙)), Qilin (a mythical chimerical creature(麒麟)), Zhuque (a mythical bird (朱雀)), Zhuimeng ('chasing dreams' (追梦)) and Fengxiang (flying phoenix (凤翔)).
Many of the eight logos focus on the character '火', which means fire and forms part of the Chinese name for Mars, '火星', literally 'fire star', with the name due to the planet's colour.
