NASA to resume Venus exploration in 2030s, moves up DAVINCI and restarts VERITAS

Two next-generation NASA Venus missions are regaining momentum as launch schedules are moved up or confirmed, after facing possible cancellation and delays due to budget issues. The DAVINCI atmospheric probe mission is targeting a December 2030 launch, a year earlier than planned, while the VERITAS orbiter has secured funding for a November 2032 launch. Europe and a private company are also preparing Venus missions in the early 2030s.
