Jun 2, 2021 · NASA is awarding approximately $500 million per mission for development. Each is expected to launch in the 2028-2030 timeframe. The selected missions are: DAVINCI+ (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging)
- Veritas
- Davinci+
- The Decade of Venus
The first mission, for which Dyar serves as the No. 2 scientist (Smrekar is No. 1), launches in 2028. The Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy(or VERITAS) spacecraft will spend about six months traveling to Venus, and then roughly three years in orbit. From its perch between 110 and 150 miles above the planet (half t...
As VERITAS orbits Venus, it will be joined mid-mission by the Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging Plus(DAVINCI+). Launching in 2029, DAVINCI+ will, after six months of transit, spend 16 months doing a series of Venus flybys, which it will use to adjust its position as necessary to precisely deliver its payload...
Dyar hopes that, after a decade of disappointment, VERITAS and DAVINCI+ will usher in a decade of action for the Venus community. With modern maps and datasets, the knowledge gap between what researchers understand of Venus and what they understand of Mars will begin to narrow. To really catch up, however, they’ll need to touch down on the surface....
