Warframe: Synthesis Target Locations

Steam Community guide by Evilflora.

Summary (Please read this!)

The information in this guide is constantly changing. Due to this, some information may be missing or incomplete.
Spawn conditions when starting missions
For your Synthesis Target to spawn at all, you MUST either be the host of the mission (solo, party) or load into the mission at the same time as the host (party, luck).
If the host also has a Synthesis Target then their target will spawn and not your own! If not the host, but another player in the squad has a Target and they load into the mission quicker than you, then their Synthesis Target will spawn instead of your own. For this reason it is recommended to do these missions solo in order to guarantee a chance of your Synthesis Target spawning.
Please do not count "didn't spawn" attempts when you are unsure of circumstances (not host/not solo). Your statistics are only 100% accurate if you start solo.
Free Simaris Standing
You can also receive Cephalon Simaris Standing from Synthesis Targets spawned by other players in the party. To do this, after all of the Target points are scanned, you must remain within affinity range (50 meters) of the last Target, as the target begins to de-materialize, wait there until the standing is awarded. Although you do not have to scan anything yourself, you must have a Synthesis Scanner in your gear wheel to receive the standing.

"Unconfirmed":
Synthesis Target missions listed below as "(Unconfirmed)" only mean the Synthesis Targets on said mission have only been confirmed by users in the comments. This, however, does not mean that the information is incorrect. It will be updated once one of the verified contributors to this guide have verified the results.
Thank you to all of those who have contributed to this guide! Enjoy Lotus on a pile of Orokin potatoes...

How to get a Synthesis Target

The daily Synthesis Target mission can only be completed once per day. It resets at 00:00 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), then a new target can be acquired by speaking to Cephalon Simaris again. If you still have the Synthesis Taget mission open (not yet scanned or received rewards) before the reset, you will not be able to pick up a new mission until you complete the ongoing mission and wait until the next daily reset (00:00 GMT).
