NASA's Davinci will be plunging through the hottest planet of our solar system. NASA scientists and engineers outlined the Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble Gases, Chemistry, and Imaging (DAVINCI) mission, which will plunge through the stratified Venus atmosphere to the planet's surface in mid-2031 an article recently published in The Planetary Science Journal.

Planetary scientists celebrated three new missions to Venus as they gathered at this years Lunar and Planetary Science Conference.

Over the past year, researchers mourned the loss of Arecibo and applauded the first helicopter flight on Mars. Plus, commercial spaceflight really took off.

A flurry of upcoming missions may uncover whether the harsh world was once an Earth-like oasis that could have harbored life.
