Nov 9, 2017 · Dozens of spacecraft have launched to explore Venus, but not all have been successful. NASA's Mariner 2 was the first spacecraft to visit any planet beyond Earth when it flew past Venus on Dec. 14, 1962. NASA is planning two new missions to Venus: VERITAS, and DAVINCI.
DAVINCI will send both an orbiter and a descent probe to Venus. [6] The orbiter will image Venus in multiple wavelengths from above, while the descent probe will study the chemical composition of Venus's atmosphere and take photographs during descent.
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.
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.
