NASA has selected two new Discovery Program missions — the Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging (DAVINCI+) and the Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy (VERITAS) — to the planet Venus.
The missions aim to understand how the atmosphere of Venus formed, evolved, determine whether the planet ever had an ocean, and understand why Venus developed so differently than the Earth.
NASA is awarding approximately $500 million per mission for development. Each is expected to launch in the 2028-2030 timeframe.
