A private mission to Venus

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Right now, space missions are primarily funded by government agencies like NASA. But a privately funded mission to Venus is expected to launch in 2023. Privately funded interplanetary missions could fundamentally change how science is done, opening the door to new avenues of exploration. The Venus mission is planned by scientists from Georgia Tech, MIT, Purdue University, Caltech, and the Planetary Science Institute, and it will make use of a probe sent to space by a Rocket Lab spacecraft. Christopher E. Carr, an assistant professor in the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering with a secondary appointment in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, is on the core team for the Venus mission.
