VERITAS is a solar-powered Venus orbiter with many similarities to NASA's MAVEN spacecraft at Mars. After arriving at Venus, the mission will use aerobraking to help slow the spacecraft and reshape its orbit.

VERITAS and NASA’s DAVINCI mission will be the first U.S.-led missions to Venus since Magellan three decades ago. VERITAS will have a low, circular orbit around Venus, allowing its instruments to collect high-resolution, global maps of the hellish surface hidden beneath the clouds.
VERITAS will return richly detailed radar maps of Venus' surface, vastly improving the resolution of maps made by the Magellan mission in the 1990s. From these data, scientists will make the first global, high-resolution maps of radar imagery and topography and the first maps of regions where geologic processes are actively deforming the ...
Oct 24, 2024 · The first U.S. mission to Venus in more than three decades, VERITAS will study Earth's sister planet from crust to core. VERITAS is the next mission in NASA's Discovery Program of smaller, focused missions to explore the solar system, following Lucy (launched in 2021) and Psyche (launched in 2022).
With its science instruments, the VERITAS mission will produce: High-resolution topographic maps and radar images. The first-ever maps showing where the surface is actively being deformed. The first global maps of rock types and iron minerals for Venus.
Jul 8, 2020 · To determine if Venus' tessera plateaus formed in a similar way to Earth's continents, VERITAS would construct the first global multispectral maps of Venus' surface composition. If their composition resembles that of continental crust, we'd also gain information about Venus' wetter past.
VERITAS (Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy) is an upcoming mission from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to map the surface of the planet Venus in high resolution.
