Oct 23, 2019 · Since the first (crash) landing on Venus in 1966, by a Soviet probe, spacecraft have only survived a total of a few hours on the planet’s surface. But NASA’s new probe is being designed last ...
Jul 10, 2023 · The first color pictures taken of the surface of Venus by the Venera-13 space probe. The Venera 13 probe lasted only 127 minutes before succumbing to Venus's extreme surface environment.

Ever since the Hubble Space Telescope revealed the sheer number of nearby galaxies, astronomers have become obsessed with searching for exoplanets in other star systems, particularly ones that appear habitable. But there are certain criteria for a planet to be considered habitable. It must have a suitable temperature, atmospheric pressure similar t...
NASA's DAVINCI+ (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) mission has several science goals, relating to: Atmospheric origin and evolution It will aim to understand the atmospheric origins on Venus, focusing on how it first formed, how it evolved and how (and why) it is different from the atmospheres of Earth and ...
Meanwhile, the VERITAS(Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy) mission will map surface features to determine the planet's geologic history and further understand why it developed so differently to Earth. Historical geology provides important information about ancient changes in climate, volcanic eruptions and earthqua...
The most exciting thing about these two missions is the orbit-to-surface probe. In the 1980s, four landers made it to the surface of Venus, but could only operate for two days due to crushing pressure. The pressure there is 93 bar, which is the same as being 900 m below sea level on Earth. Then there's the lava. Many lava flows on Venus stretch for...
Jun 3, 2021 · A synthetic aperture radar aboard the spacecraft will develop a 3D topography map of Venus. These 3D images of the surface could shed light on how the planet formed and how it has changed over time.

Sep 23, 2020 · Such a mission, its proponents say, could set sail in June 2031, place its five science platforms at Venus in 2034 and culminate in a landing on the surface in May 2035. NASA is not the only space ...
Sep 17, 2020 · By Loren Grush. Sep 17, 2020, 7:10 AM PDT. With the recent discovery of a possible sign of life on Venus, it’s possible we could see a new surge of missions headed to the cloudy world in the ...

DAVINCI. Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging. DAVINCI will study Venus from its clouds down to the planet's surface – the first mission to study Venus using both flybys and a descent probe. It joins the VERITAS mission as the first NASA spacecraft to explore Earth's sister planet Venus since the 1990s.
