   When was the last time NASA visited Venus?

   • The last time NASA sent a dedicated mission to Venus was 1989, when its Magellan orbiter launched on a five-year mission to create a radar map of the planet. Ever since, Earth’s sister world—almost identical to our own planet in size, mass and bulk composition—had been relegated to the shadows of American space exploration.
