- NASA selected two new missions to study the second planet from the sun. These two missions will set out to understand how Earth’s sister planet may have been the first habitable planet in the solar system and how it has become the volcanic and mountainous planet it is today. Both are expected to launch by 2028 to 2030.

Jun 2, 2021 · Orbiting Venus with a synthetic aperture radar, VERITAS will chart surface elevations over nearly the entire planet to create 3D reconstructions of topography and confirm whether processes such as plate tectonics and volcanism are still active on Venus.
NASA's DAVINCI Will Study Venus With Flybys and Probe. 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.
May 22, 2023 · NASA's DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigations of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) mission will study Venus from above its clouds down to its surface, investigating how the planet and its dense atmosphere formed and evolved over the past 4.5 billion years.
- Did Venus ever host life? Big questions are often asked when thinking about other planets: Is there life? WAS there ever life? If so, what sort of life?
- How did Venus and Earth come to be so different? Venus and Earth are similar in size and density, so hypothetically, these planets could be very similar.
- How did Venus form? Even this seemingly basic question about the origin of Venus is still a mystery. “It’s amazing to me that we don’t know whether Venus formed from the same early solar system materials as did Earth and Mars,” says Getty.
- What is the atmospheric composition at Venus? The atmospheric composition of Venus is an important piece of the context we are seeking as we aim to better evaluate Venus’ potential habitability over time.
Jun 2, 2022 · In a recently published paper, NASA scientists and engineers give new details about the agency’s Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging (DAVINCI) mission, which will descend through the layered Venus atmosphere to the surface of the planet in mid-2031.
