"Urgent Efforts Underway to Save NASA's VERITAS Venus Mission"

The Planetary Society has published an open letter to Congress calling for a 2029 launch date for NASA's VERITAS mission to Venus, which has been delayed indefinitely due to staff and budgeting issues at the space agency. The proposed amount for VERITAS' funding is "barely enough to keep us alive," according to the deputy principal investigator of the mission. The VERITAS orbiter mission would provide fundamental data on Venus, the kind NASA has been missing out on for the past 30 years.
