1. DAVINCI: Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble Gas, Chemistry, and Imaging One out five NASA’s Discovery-class missions for Phase A studies. A 63 minute descent to study chemical and isotopic composition of Venus atmosphere. First U.S. entry probe to target Venus atmosphere in 45 years. http://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2016/pdf/1560.pdf
