Dalawang bagong misyon papuntang Venus ang inianunsiyo ng National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) nitong Miyerkules, June 2.
Ayon kay NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, "These two sister missions both aim to understand how Venus became an inferno-like world, capable of melting lead at the surface."
Paliwanag pa niya, "They will offer the entire science community the chance to investigate a planet we haven't been to in more than 30 years."
Ang nabanggit na 2 misyon ay paglalaanan ng tig-$500 million sa ilalim ng NASA's Discovery Program at inaasahang ilo-launch sa 2028-2030.
"It is astounding how little we know about Venus, but the combined results of these missions will tell us about the planet from the clouds in its sky through the volcanoes on its surface all the way down to its very core,” dagdag naman ni Tom Wagner, NASA’s Discovery Program scientist.
Matatandaang nag-landing kamakailan ang spacecraft ng NASA sa planetang Mars na layuning maghanap ng fossilized bacteria at microbes upang patunayan ang pagkakaroon ng buhay na nilalang doon.
