- avhon1 6y agoLast year, NASA had a public challenge for teams to submit designs for Venus rovers. The winners were announced in July[0]. The designs are pretty interesting! As far as planned missions go, a proposal by the Goddard Space Flight Center for a 2021 Venus atmospheric probe called DAVINCI+ was shortlisted in February 2020 [1], but was waylaid in favor of asteroid probes Lucy and Psyche[2].
