#PlanetarySociety is spearheading
an effort to save the #VERITASmission
to #Venus, which is facing an indefinite delay due to constrained budgets at NASA.

#VERITASMission will map Venus from above, to study the planet’s geology and composition. https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/veritas/overview/

NASA is developing two missions to study Venus: #DAVINCIMission and #VERITASMission. DAVINCI will send a probe through Venus' dense atmosphere to explore its environment and surface.

At the end of this decade, NASA will send two missions to Venus to explore the planet inside and out. The #VERITASMission will survey Venus from above, mapping its interior and surface while the #DAVINCIMission will send a probe into Venus' atmosphere. go.nasa.gov/3saN65e pic.twitter.com/0La9OexMgX https://twitter.com/NASASolarSystem/status/1490783906836135938

In June, NASA selected two missions to visit Venus - a planet we know surprisingly little about despite its proximity. The #DAVINCIMission will send a probe to the surface of the planet. #VERITASMission will map Venus from orbit. twitter.com/NASAGoddard/st… https://twitter.com/NASASolarSystem/status/1458474362349277184

We’ve got Venus on the brain. With the announcement of two new NASA missions to Venus, we’re gearing up to learn more about our next-door neighbor.

We've long assumed Venus has an immobile outer shell, like Mars. But new research led by @NCState indicates that Venus’ crust is more Earth-like & geologically active than we thought. Our upcoming #VERITASMission could confirm this finding. bit.ly/3wLq8mB pic.twitter.com/aOpcjq5zEz https://twitter.com/NASASolarSystem/status/1407065027413151744
