NASA expresses its readiness to discuss plans to discover Venus with Russia

NASA confirmed its readiness to continue discussing plans to explore Venus with Russia, and a spokeswoman for NASA told the Russian Sputnik agency. We had an excellent exchange of views on determining the common goals of the Venera station. -D, the automatic satellite that will be sent to Venus.

NASA spokeswoman said, we welcome future opportunities for our experts to continue discussing plans. NASA has worked over the past years to identify areas of common interest in planetary exploration, particularly Venus.

The Director of the American Space Agency, NASA, Bill Nelson, had described Russia as a vital partner of the United States of America in terms of space exploration, noting that he expected the continuation of this exceptional relationship between the two countries.

Nelson said at a press conference, I think the relationship between Russia and the United States in space has been exceptional since the Soviet Union. Russia is a vital partner to the International Space Station and I expect Russia to continue in this role.

In another context, NASA announced that it plans to send two scientific missions to Venus between 2028 and 2030 for the first time in decades, and the agency said in a statement that it had chosen two new missions to Venus, the closest planet to Earth.

As part of the agency's discovery program, the missions aim to study the planet's atmosphere and geological history. It indicated that it will allocate about $500 million for each mission, pointing out that the two missions are expected to be launched between 2028 and 2030.

And a study from the Yale University of America stated that asteroid collisions with Venus in the past transported quantities of planet materials to the surface of the moon, assuming that the atmosphere of Venus was thin at some point, similar to the atmosphere of the Earth.
