The DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) mission will explore whether the inhospitable surface of Venus could once have been a twin of Earth – a habitable world with liquid water oceans.
NASA’s DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation 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.
DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) is a planned mission for an orbiter and atmospheric probe to the planet Venus.
The DAVINCI probe will travel through the harsh Venus atmosphere, sampling the air, and returning measurements all the way to the surface. These measurements are crucial to understanding the origin of the Venus atmosphere, how it has evolved, and how and why it is different from Earth and Mars.
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.
Nov 12, 2021 · The Venus Mass Spectrometer (VMS) will study the atmosphere in detail, including noble gases and trace gases from 67 km (42 mi) to the near surface. The Venus Atmospheric Structure Investigation (VASI) will measure pressure, temperature, and winds throughout the descent.
