Modeling and Simulation for DAVINCI Entry, Descent, and Landing
Abstract
The Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging (DAVINCI) mission will launch in June 2029 and explore Venus via two flybys and a probe landing currently scheduled for June 2031. DAVINCI is the 16th selection of the NASA Discovery Class program and its objectives include quantifying the chemical composition of the Venusian atmosphere, taking infrared descent imagery of the surface, and conducting remote observations of the dynamic atmosphere and cloud-deck. The goals are to study the origin, evolution, and current state of Venus, to understand if it was habitable at a point in the past, and to create an analog to hot terrestrial exo-planets similar to Venus.
