The planet Venus is closer to Earth at the moment, and it is one of the few in the solar system that at one time had an ecosystem similar to that of our planet. The planet Venus is seen by many as one that should be explored more because it hides some secrets that could explain to a certain extent the evolution that the Earth has had up to the present moment, which is very important.
The planet Venus is at the center of several missions at the moment, as some of you know very well, but not all of them will be financed by the state space agencies, but some will be privately financed. The project that would take several space probes into the atmosphere of the planet Venus is led by researchers from the prestigious American university MIT, the purpose of the missions being to investigate if there are possible signs of life in the planet's atmosphere.
Planet Venus: The AMAZING Announcement with a Decision that will Impact Humanity
The planet Venus will be visited by a first space probe after 2023, which will be sent there for a 3-minute flyby in the planet's atmosphere, during which it will analyze its composition with special instruments. Considering that almost three decades have passed since the last space probes were sent to the planet Venus for investigations, new missions were needed to tell us what could be hidden there, especially if we take into account the recent controversies.
"We hope this is the start of a new paradigm where you travel cheaply, more often and in a more focused way. People have been talking about missions to Venus for a long time. But we've come up with a new suite of focused, miniaturized tools to do the special job. There are these lingering mysteries on Venus that we can't really solve unless we go back there directly. Persistent chemical anomalies that leave room for the possibility of life.”
The planet Venus will then be visited by other special missions that will have the purpose of analyzing its atmospheric composition even more, so that by the end of this decade we should know more about it. Of course, the success of these missions is based on the discovery of more information about the planet Venus, but there is still a lot to find out before we can clearly say that good surprises for humanity are hidden there, unfortunately.
The planet Venus will also be visited by probes of some renowned space agencies from all over the world, but these missions are still far from completion, Mars being the center of attention at the moment.
