There are at least three missions to Venus in progress: Veritas, DaVinci, and Envision. We’ve overlooked Venus as a science target, but this mission should right that wrong.
There is no release date for NASA Truth, honestyBut the probe will study our evil twin from orbit to find out why this planet is so inhospitable to life despite its size and composition so similar to Earth.
Unlike Veritas, NASA’s 3-foot-wide Davinci probe will dive into it Performance drops for an hour through Venus’ thick atmosphere, which will happen in 2031. Once DAVINCI begins its descent, “parachutes, designed to survive the harsh environment of Venus, will be deployed to slow it down,” according to NASA. Explain. “After the plane has traveled halfway to the surface, the parachute is ejected; at this point, Venus’ atmosphere becomes very thick, 90 times thicker than Earth’s, so the craft naturally slows down, settling like a stone in water.” DAVINCI is expected to live a long time on the surface, where temperatures can reach 900 degrees Fahrenheit.
Like VERITAS and ESA visualization probes will calm down In orbit around Venus, where it will stay during his 4 year mission. The main goal of this project, which is carried out in partnership with NASA, is to study the interaction between the surface and the atmosphere, which exhibits a high degree of reactivity.
