Jun 8, 2021 · From rovers like Opportunity to landers like InSight, Mars has held the scientific spotlight for some time. Now, NASA plans to better understand Venus’ toxic and incredibly hot atmosphere.
The report shows that the space agency generated more than $64.3 billion in total economic output during the 2019 fiscal year, supported more than 312,000 jobs nationwide, and generated an estimated $7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes throughout the United States.

The 1960s saw a total of 18 missions from the USA and USSR that targeted Venus,with five successfully completed missions: 1. Mariner 2 (1962, Flyby) 2. Venera 4 (1967, Atmospheric) 3. Mariner 5 (1967, Flyby) 4. Venera 5 (1969, Atmospheric) 5. Venera 6 (1969, Atmospheric) Exploration continued in the 1970s with 11 Venus missions beginning with the V...
Venus is the second planet from the Sun after Mercury, followed by the Earth. Its mass is 81.5% of that of the Earth, 85.7% the volume and ~90% by surface area. Its surface gravity is 8.87 m/s2 compared to 9.80665 m/s2 for Earth. In comparison, Mars has 15.1% the volume of Earth and 28.4% the surface area, with a surface gravity of 3.72076 m/s2 whi...
So far the 2020s look to feature a bit of a revival in Venus missions, with five planned missions: 1. Rocket Lab’s atmospheric probe(~2023). 2. India’s Shukrayaan-1(~2024/2026, orbiter). 3. NASA’s VERITAS(~2028, orbiter). 4. Roscosmos’ Venera-D(~2029, orbiter & lander). 5. NASA’s DAVINCI+(~2029/2030, atmospheric). Little is known about Rocket Lab’s...
Although these new missions will still take a number of years to materialize, with most of them likely not reaching Venus until the 2030s, the potential of what we can learn not only about Venus, but also Earth is simply too tempting. Even beyond figuring out what makes Venus tick, or perhaps rather what made it take such a different course from Ea...

It began its seven-month journey to the Red Planet, landing there on Feb. 18, 2021. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech. Cruise: The Trip to Mars. The interplanetary cruise phase is the period of travel from Earth to Mars and lasts about 200 days. The phase begins after the spacecraft separates from the rocket, soon after launch.
