NASA has announced the winner of a competition to determine targets for a new round of exploration missions. The space exploration agency has opted for a pair of missions to Venus, the first for NASA in over 30 years. These missions were launched as part of NASA’s Discovery Program, which funds small-scale space programs of $500M or less per launch.
The two probes, DAVINCI+ and VERITAS, will return new data on the evolution and current structures of the second planet from the sun. Both are acronyms: DAVINCI+ stands for Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging, Plus, while VERITAS stands for Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy.
