Basic tutorial issues

Okay, so I've only been playing the game for about a day, so bear with me.

I've completed most of the basic Aura tutorial missions and started on the one where you have to warp to a neighboring system to find a station that has a certificate that you then return to your home station. So I opened the journal to find the mission details and right-clicked on the location of the system I had to travel to. I found the correct warp gate and jumped through to the next system, but I have no idea where to go from there. There's nothing on the Overview with the name of the place that has the certificate. I know it's not an actual station, but a cargo container, and that it should be right near the warp gate, but there's nothing out there like that. I think I'm missing a step. Am I supposed to warp to a second location within that system? If so, how do I find that second location? There's no other info in the mission journal and Aura doesn't tell me anything useful, so I'm stuck and it's frustrating. I've asked in both the Help and the Rookie Help channels, but nobody can tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it.

Also, and I don't know if this is at all related, but I seem to recall that there was mission info located just beneath the planetary info in the upper left-hand corner of the screen--NOT an icon, but simply text that you could click on. Unfortunately, it's disappeared and I can't figure out how to get it back. I can still find mission info by clicking the Journal icon, but nothing that stays on the screen for the duration of the mission like there was with the first couple of tutorial missions.

So, like I said--I'm stuck and frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you accept the mission before leaving the station? Check your journal, is the mission Offered (jn yellow) or Accepted (green)? If 'Offered', go back to where you started and accept the mission.

When the mission is accepted, the mission name is top-left on your screen and you can click on it to either get the next stargate or the location to warp to in the system. You can also right click empty space and there will be an entry in the menu 'agent missions' and the mission name under that, with a warp to menu entry

The cargo container you're looking for is not near the jump gate, the mission bookmark (which you will have if you've accepted the mission) will take you to some point in that system where the stuff will be.

Yep, that was the problem. I thought I'd accepted the mission when I actually didn't. Oops
