 Did Venus have life? NASA's DAVINCI Mission to unravel unsolved mysteries of the planet

Did Venus have water? NASA's DAVINCI mission (Deep Atmosphere Venus inquest of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) to Venus is planned for begin in 2029. The mission will be send a spacecraft and probe to Venus to look into the unsolved mysteries of the planet.

The DAVINCI mission will be doing two flybys of Venus ahead taking a plunge between the layered climate to attempt landing on the surface of the planet in mid-2031. NASA Scientists have new details all over the DAVINCI mission in a right now produce paper.

NASA's DAVINCI mission will be the first-ever mission to Venus using both spacecraft flybys and a descent probe. During flybys, the rocket will be take evaluation of the clouds and ultraviolet absorption on the Venusian day side and also take evaluation of the heat emanating from the planet’s surface on the night side.

What is DAVINCI Mission?

DAVINCI is short for Deep Atmosphre Venus Investigation of Noble Gases, Chemistry and Imaging. The mission has been named after the Renaissance artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci.

DAVINCI Mission Launch Date- 2029

DAVINCI Mission Objective: 7 Important Facts

1. The DAVINCI mission will be study the origin, evolution and present state of Venus in great detail from the top of the clouds to the planet’s surface.

2. The mission's goal is to unravel longstanding mysteries around Venus, especially whether it had water and was habitable like Earth. 3. The spacecraft will first conduct two gravity assist flybys, during which the mission will study the cloud tops in ultraviolet light and also examine the heat emanating from the Venus surface on the planet's night side. 4. The mission will be looking for geological clues of the planet's mysterious past by exploring the top of Venus’s atmosphere and the composition of a mountainous region known as Alpha Region. 5. The mission will be carry a descent probe that will be enter the Venus climate two years behind the launch. The descent sphere will ingest and analise atmospheric gases and collect images as it descends to the surface of the planet at the Alpha Regio region. 6. The DAVINCI spacecraft will be thereafter act as a media hub and will be relay relaying details from the probe to the Earth. 7. It will be as well as use its two onboard device to study Venusian clouds and map its highland areas as it flies by the planet.

DAVINCI's Descent PROBE

• The DAVINCI's descent sphere will be land on the Venusian surface in 2031. The spherical probe is made up of Titanium, one of the world's strongest metals. It is all over 1 meter or 3 feet wide.
• 
  
  It will be carrying five scientific device , all of and that have been built to withstand the extreme climate on Venus involve crushing air pressure, acid clouds and very hot surface that can even melt lead.
• 
  
  Venus’s climate is almost 90 times thicker than Earth’s climate and this will be make the descent probe will be slow down naturally, settling like a stone in water.
• 
  
  The descent probe is not required to survive landing, but if it does, it could supply up to an added 17 minutes of data.
• 
  
  While 17 minutes does not seem like a lot of time by Earth standards, but given how hard it is for device to operate in tough Venus climate , every additional minute of science is invaluable.
  
  
  
  
  DAVINCI's Instruments-
• 1. Venus Tunable Laser Spectrometer (VTLS) - It will be measure isotopes in the Venus atmospheric chemical compounds to offer clues to Venus’s past.
  
  
  2. Venus Mass Spectrometer (VMS)- It will be study the climate of Venus involve noble gases to understand Venus’s past and present.
  
  
  3. Venus climate Structure Investigation (VASI) - It will be measure pressure, heat and wind speed all over the descent probe’s descent.
  
  
  4. Venus Descent Imager (VenDI)- The infrared camera will snap the first up-close photo of the composition and relief of Alpha Regio, and that may be the oldest surface on the planet. 5. Venus Imaging complex for Observational survey (VISOR)- The four VISOR cameras will be take ultraviolet photo of cloud motions and capture near-infrared photo to reveal heat emanating from the planet’s surface, and that will be support scientists determine its composition. 6. Venus Oxygen Fugacity (VfOx) - The sensor, a freshman -built, dime-sized instrument will be measure oxygen in the lowest part of the atmosphere.
  7. Compact Ultraviolet to Visible Imaging Spectrometer (CUVIS)- It will be test new technologies to support identify a mysterious blend in the climate called the “unknown absorber” that soaks up half the incoming sunlight.
