Do Exotic Nodes in Missions Respawn?

[His Quivzness]

I see that in open worlds, if the nodes have been fully extracted, there is a respawn event that makes random nodes active again.

Does anything like this happen in missions? Or do you only get one set (1 or more active nodes depending on the mission) of viable nodes per mission regardless of time spent?

The respawn mechanic is only in the open world. Here's the update announcement and I bolded the relevant line:

This Week: Exotic Respawning & Meteor Showers

Hypatia Part II also brings the long-awaited Exotic Respawning and Open World Exotics to Icarus.

This means Exotics can now be extracted from your Open World prospects through exotic deposits, earned along side enzymes in Horde Mode, or farmed from plants on Prometheus. Next week, we’ll also add Exotic Voxels to mine.

Exotics now respawn in Open World games through the new Meteor Shower event.

Every 3 hours there will be a map-wide Meteor Shower that will only trigger if you have fully extracted an exotic deposit during that time period. This causes up to three new exotic veins to spawn across the map. On Open Worlds currently only three exotic veins can be 'active' at any one time.

This also resets your Radar scans, allowing you to rescan and find new veins in their new locations.

Regardless of whether the Meteor Shower happens or not, every three hours Exotic Plants on Prometheus prospects have a chance to spawn, and Geysers have their completion numbers reset, allowing you to gather exotics again.

Thanks. i figured this from the wiki, but it was a little ambiguous and i wanted to be sure before i get back in my drop pod and bail out of a mission.
