India's Space Agency Sets Sights on Sun and Venus, Announces PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning to explore the Sun with its upcoming Aditya-L1 mission and is also considering a mission to Venus. The proposed Venus mission aims to send an orbiter and a drone-like probe to gather information about the planet. The Aditya-L1 mission, which will study the Sun's radiation output and monitor solar plasma wind and storms, is expected to launch in September. Modi praised ISRO's successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon's South Pole, stating that India is pushing the boundaries of space exploration.

"Planetary Society fights to save NASA's VERITAS Venus mission from delays"

The Planetary Society has written an open letter to Congress requesting support for NASA's stalled VERITAS mission to Venus, which has been indefinitely delayed due to institutional troubles at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The White House has requested just $1.5 million for the mission next year, instead of the projected $56.7 million, effectively halting development. The Planetary Society is asking Congress to establish a 2029 launch date, reducing the delay to just two years, and is also asking members of the public to petition Congress to support the mission.
