NASA picked two new robotic missions to explore the hot world of Venus, Earth’s neighbor and the second planet from the Sun, administrator Bill Nelson announced on Wednesday.

NASA announced two new missions to Venus

Decades after Magellan, NASA is going back to Venus with a pair of new missions — DAVINCI+ and VERITAS — that will explore the planet’s geology and atmosphere.

NASA is launching two new missions to Venus at the end of the decade to find out why the planet became "an inferno-like world." The missions will take place from 2028 to 2030.

NASA Venus Missions will explore "Earth's evil twin," which has turned into a fiery planet for unknown reasons over the years.

NASA will send two robots, Davinci+ and Veritas to explore and study Earth's nearest planetary neighbour, Venus around 2028–2030.

NASAs last Venus orbiter was Magellan, which arrived in 1990, but other vessels have made fly-bys since then

The missions have been awarded about $500 million under Nasas Discovery Program, and each is expected to launch in the 2028-2030 timeframe.
