• Revealing the Mysteries of Venus: The DAVINCI Mission - IOPscience

  DAVINCI is a multielement mission concept that delivers both a deep atmosphere DS (i.e., a “probe”) and a flyby remote-sensing carrier relay imaging spacecraft (CRIS) to Venus, each carrying sophisticated instruments tailored to the prioritized scientific goals and objectives of the mission. As selected by NASA in 2021 June, the primary mission design for DAVINCI features two flybys and an in situ descent phase that would deliver definitive chemical and isotopic composition of the Venus atmosphere during a 59 minutes transect from ∼70 km to the surface (Figure 5). This in situ investigation is preceded by remote observations of the dynamic atmosphere, cloud deck, and surface properties during the flybys, prior to the entry-descent-science in situ phase involving the DS. As described in [...] The DAVINCI mission concept builds upon the flyby, landed, and orbital mapping missions of the past (e.g., PVLP, Venera, Vega, Magellan, Venus Express, and Akatsuki) to take the next critical step in Venus exploration: a sophisticated DS-flyby combination (Figure 1). DAVINCI will deliver a chemical laboratory capable of revealing the atmospheric chemistry, a descent imager surpassing previous similar instruments on Mars (e.g., with composition and topography), an environmental package to establish context, and flyby imaging (and communications) to connect remote sensing to in situ exploration. The discoveries to be made by DAVINCI will close long-standing gaps in models of atmospheric evolution, Venus's water loss, and surface–atmosphere interactions. There are multiple competing models [...] The Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging (DAVINCI) mission described herein has been selected for flight to Venus as part of the NASA Discovery Program. DAVINCI will be the first mission to Venus to incorporate science-driven flybys and an instrumented descent sphere into a unified architecture. The anticipated scientific outcome will be a new understanding of the atmosphere, surface, and evolutionary path of Venus as a possibly once-habitable planet and analog to hot terrestrial exoplanets. The primary mission design for DAVINCI as selected features a preferred launch in summer/fall 2029, two flybys in 2030, and descent-sphere atmospheric entry by the end of 2031. The in situ atmospheric descent phase subsequently delivers definitive chemical and

• DAVINCI - Wikipedia

  Wikipedia # DAVINCI DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) is a planned mission for an orbiter and atmospheric probe to the planet Venus. Together with the separate VERITAS "VERITAS (spacecraft)") mission, which will also study Venus, it was selected by NASA on June 2, 2021, to be part of their Discovery Program. Its acronym is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci in honor of his scientific innovations, aerial sketches and constructions. DAVINCI [...] DAVINCI will send both an orbiter and a descent probe to Venus. The orbiter will image Venus in multiple wavelengths from above, while the descent probe will study the chemical composition of Venus's atmosphere and take photographs during descent. The DAVINCI probe will travel through the Venusian atmosphere, sampling the atmosphere, and returning measurements down to the surface. These measurements are important to understanding the origin of the atmosphere, how it has evolved, and how and why it is different from the atmosphere of Earth and Mars. The measurements taken by DAVINCI will investigate the possible history of water on Venus and the chemical processes at work in the unexplored lower atmosphere. Before it reaches the surface, the DAVINCI probe will capture high-resolution [...] | | | --- | | Illustration of a spacecraft descending through Venus' atmosphere Artist's concept of DAVINCI's descent stages | | | Names | DAVINCI (2015–2019) DAVINCI+ (2019–2021) DAVINCI (2021–) | | | | | Mission type | Orbiter and Atmospheric probe | | Operator | NASA / Goddard | | Website | ssed.gsfc.nasa.gov | | | | | | | | Spacecraft properties | | | Spacecraft | Orbiter Probe | | Manufacturer | Lockheed Martin / Goddard Space Flight Center | | | | | | | | Start of mission | | | Launch date | October 2030–September 2032 (provisional, based on fiscal years 2031 or 2032) December 2030 (preferred target) | | | | | | | | End of mission | | | Landing date | 2033 | | Landing site | Alpha Regio | | | | | | | | Venus orbiter | | | Spacecraft component | Orbiter |

• NASA's DAVINCI Mission

  Named after visionary Renaissance artist and scientist, Leonardo da Vinci, NASA’s DAVINCI mission will study Venus from above its clouds down to its surface, investigating how the planet and its thick, crushing atmosphere formed and evolved over the past 4.5 billion years. [...] DAVINCI consists of a spacecraft and a probe. Through a series of flybys, the spacecraft will track the motions of Venus’ clouds and map its surface composition. Two years into the mission, the spacecraft will release a probe that will sample the atmosphere’s chemical makeup, as well as the temperature, pressure, and winds, as it descends to the surface. Once it reaches below the clouds, the probe will take measurements and capture high-resolution images of a unique mountainous region called Alpha Regio, which may be among the oldest surfaces on Venus, offering scientists remote access to rocks that are billions of years old. [...] article 7 months ago # DAVINCI Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging Future Mission DAVINCI will study the origin, evolution, and present state of Venus in unprecedented detail to help determine whether it was once wet and habitable, like Earth. Along with NASA's VERITAS, DAVINCI will be the first American spacecraft since the 1990s to explore Earth's neighboring planet.

  # Projects ## DAVINCI 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. Named after visionary Renaissance artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci, the DAVINCI mission Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging is scheduled to launch in the late 2020s.

• DAVINCI Mission Seeks To Unlock Venus’ Hidden Secrets - Astrobiology

  An artist's visualization of DAVINCI's descent probe lying on the surface of Venus. - NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio NASA’s DAVINCI — Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging — mission embodies the spirit of innovation and exploration that its namesake, Leonardo da Vinci, was famous for. Scheduled to launch in the early 2030s, DAVINCI will explore Venus with both a spacecraft and a descent probe. DAVINCI’s probe will be the first in the 21st century to brave Venus’ atmosphere as it descends from above the planet’s clouds down to its surface. Two other missions, NASA’s VERITAS and ESA’s (European Space Agency) Envision, will also explore Venus in the 2030s from the planet’s orbit. [...] NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is the principal investigator institution for DAVINCI and will perform project management for the mission, provide science instruments, as well as project systems engineering to develop the in-situ probe flight system that will enter the atmosphere of Venus. Goddard also leads the overall science for the mission with an external science team from across the United States. Lockheed Martin Space in Denver, Colorado, will build the carrier/relay spacecraft. DAVINCI is a mission within the Discovery Program, managed by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. By Lauren Colvin, with Lonnie Shekhtman NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md. [...] But DAVINCI’s probe will descend through the atmosphere and below the clouds for a clear view of the mountains and plains. It will capture images comparable to an airplane’s landing view of Earth’s surface. Scientists will use the photos to compile 3D maps of Alpha Regio that will provide more detail than ever of Venus’ terrain, helping them look for rocks that are usually only made in association with water. Unveiling Secrets of Venus’ Mysterious Lower Atmosphere The DAVINCI mission will be the first to analyze the chemical composition of Venus’ lower atmosphere through measurements taken at regular intervals, starting from approximately 90,000 feet above the surface and continuing until just before impact.
