   VERITAS, and another mission called DAVINCI, will be the first NASA spacecraft to explore Venus since the 1990s. Veritas will discover the secrets of a lost habitable world, gathering data to reveal how the paths of Venus and Earth diverged. DAVINCI will study Venus in unprecedented detail from near the top of the clouds to the planet’s surface.
