The agency’s director for scientific affairs, Hunter Hasinger, said in an interview with TASS that the agency will soon make a final decision to send that mission to Venus.
He added that he studies with great attention everything related to the recent discoveries in Venus, in particular the discovery of phosphine gas as a biological indicator for the existence of life in the planet’s atmosphere.
He went on to say that the methods used by international astronomers when they discovered phosphine gas could be used in the rest of the solar system, which opens wide horizons for space biology in terms of searching for life effects in the solar system and the universe. He explained that recent discoveries in the atmosphere of Venus make the European-American EnVision Project on Venus more attractive to contributors.
Within the framework of the EnVision project, scientists intend to develop a radar map of Venus that will help them study the atmosphere, its history and its relationship to the volcanic activity of the planet.
He said, Hasinger that the project is necessary to move from assumptions that there is life in the atmosphere of Venus to confirm this by sending a space mission there.
