Two new missions to Venus -- DAVINCI+ and VERITAS -- have been selected by NASA. These missions will shed light on how Venus became the inhospitable world it is today, despite the fact that it shares many characteristics with Earth.

NASA Selects 2 New Missions to Venus Both missions will help us understand how Venus became an inferno-like world. By Matthew Humphries (Photo: NASA/JPL-Caltech) NASAs Discovery Program offers scientists and engineers a chance to design their own planetary science missions and potentially have them funded by the space agency. Two such missions have just been selected, and they both involve a trip to the hottest planet in our solar system: Venus. The characteristics of Venus suggest th...

NASA's first missions to Venus since 1990 aim to deepen our understanding of why a planet with many similarities to Earth became uninhabitable.

Each mission has an estimated cost of $500m, with launches expected between 2028 and 2030.

VERITAS and DAVINCI+ chosen and funded as part of agencys concept selection Laura Dobberstein Thu 3 Jun 2021 // 13:40 UTC Share Copy NASA announced yesterday that it will fund two new missions to Venus to study its atmosphere and topography, both chosen from the Discovery Program. The two missions will seek to understand how Venus made the transition from a theoretically Earth-like climate to becoming the solar system’s hottest planet. Venus is often referred to as Ear...

Two new missions to Earths twin have been greenlit by NASA via the agencys Discovery Program. These missions, which were the two finalists selected from four concepts NASA highlighted in February 2020, will shed light on how Venus became the inhospitable world it is today, despite the fact that it shares many characteristics with Earth. One mission would focus on ...

The missions, the DAVINCI+ atmospheric probe and the VERITAS orbiter, seek to better understand how Venus changed from being possibly the first habi...

Were Off to Venus: NASA Will Send Two Missions by 2030 The two new missions will be the first to reach our closest planetary neighbor Venus in over 30 years. A composite of images taken by NASAs Magellan mission. NASA/JPL-Caltech NASA announced on Wednesday, June 3, that it will be sending two missions to Venus by 2030 in a bid to understand how it became the "inferno-like world" it is today, a post from NASA explains. In its post, the US space agency describes how Venus, our closest planetar...

NASA will send two new missions to Venus to learn more about how the planets hellish atmosphere turned so hostile over its history.
