Venus Discovery: DAVINCI and VERITAS - AIAA Rocky Mountain Section Speakers Program

U.S. Citizenship is required for this event.

This program will highlight the two discovery class missions that Lockheed Martin is building, VERITAS and DAVINCI, to explore Venus. VERITAS (Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy) will map the surface of Venus in high resolution near-infrared spectroscopy, and radar to provide knowledge of Venus's tectonic and impact history, gravity, and geochemistry. DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) is a an orbiter and atmospheric probe. The technical leads on both missions will describe how both spacecraft are designed to work in conjunction to further our understanding of our sister planet.
