Five decades have been over of a man first stepped on the moon. From that day, NASA has remained ambitious to grow exponentially. Currently, NASA has active missions on Mars.

The mission Mangal will help them establish if the planet ever support life as there were traces of water found on the planet. The current mission objective of the rovers on Mars is to scale more of the landscape and study and send back samples that can be analysed back on earth. With the success of the Mars mission, NASA is now focusing towards Venus. There has been no mission to Venus ever since 1990. After three decades, NASA is once again gearing up and heading back to Venus. Yes! Mr Bill Nelson, the administrator for NASA, announced that NASA plans to send two new missions to Venus by 2030. The first probe is called DAVINCI+, and the second one is called VERITAS.

MISSION VENUS

According to the studies, temperatures on Venus can reach up to 470-degree celsius. That is hot enough to melt lead. The high temperatures on Venus are mainly due to the greenhouse effect created by the carbon dioxide that makes up for 96% of the total atmosphere on Venus. On Earth, most of the carbon is trapped in the rocks. While on Venus, the Carbon has managed to escape into the atmosphere leading. The atmosphere on Venus also has high amounts of Sulphuric Acid. The atmospheric conditions were very similar to that of Earth. Hence, Venus can also help us prevent greenhouse effects on Earth.
