Venus' Last Spacecraft Falls Silent, But New Missions Promise Unprecedented InsightsThe Japanese Akatsuki mission, our last active spacecraft orbiting Venus, has been declared dead, marking the end of a decade-long journey. Despite engineers' best efforts to reconnect, the spacecraft remained silent. This mission provided invaluable data about Venus's harsh atmosphere, earning it the title of sister planet to Earth.While one mission ends, several new ones are on the horizon. NASA's DAVINCI and VERITAS, the European Space Agency's Envision, Rocket Lab's Venus Life Finder, and India's Venus Orbiter Mission all aim to uncover more secrets about Venus, from its ancient water cycles to potential signs of life in its clouds.
