Detailed explanation-1: -DAVINCI is tentatively scheduled to launch June 2029 and enter the Venusian atmosphere in June 2031. “No previous mission within the Venus atmosphere has measured the chemistry or environments at the detail that DAVINCI’s probe can do,” said Garvin.

Detailed explanation-2: -The DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging Plus) mission, scheduled to launch no earlier than 2029, includes the first probe that will enter Venus’ atmosphere since the Soviet Vega 2 lander in 1984.

Detailed explanation-3: -NASA is set to launch a mission called “DAVINCI Mission”. DAVINCI stands for “Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry and Imaging Mission”. The mission will fly by Venus and explore its harsh atmosphere in 2029.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mission is scheduled to launch in June 2029 into a type-1 trajectory Earth-Venus transfer orbit. After 6 months it will make a Venus flyby, followed by a second flyby about 9 months later. The next Venus approach will take place about 7 months after that.

Detailed explanation-5: -NASA’s DAVINCI mission will study the origin, evolution, and present state of Venus in unprecedented detail from near the top of the clouds to the planet’s surface. The mission’s goal is to help answer longstanding questions about our neighboring planet, especially whether Venus was ever wet and habitable like Earth.
