Rocket Lab's Venus Mission Delayed to 2025 with Possible Asteroid Flyby.

Rocket Lab's private mission to Venus, which was originally scheduled to launch last month, has been delayed to no earlier than January 2025. The mission will use Rocket Lab's small Electron rocket and Photon spacecraft to send a tiny probe to search for organic chemicals in Venus's clouds, as well as to mature the high-energy Photon spacecraft for deep space missions.
