NASA to launch 2 missions DAVINCI+ and VERITAS to study "lost habitable" world of Venus
NASA has chosen two new missions to explore Venus, DAVINCI+ and VERITAS, in order to learn more about how Earth's nearest planetary neighbour evolved into an inferno-like world. Each is scheduled to debut between 2028 and 2030.

NASA has selected two new missions to study Venus to understand how Earths nearest planetary neighbour became an inferno-like world when it may have been the first habitable world in the solar system, complete with an ocean and Earth-like climate.
The two missions were selected, based on their potential scientific value and the feasibility of their development plans, from four mission concepts that NASA picked in February 2020 as part of the agency's Discovery 2019 competition.
