Rocket Lab will self-fund a mission to search for life in the clouds of Venus
Rocket Lab's Peter Beck is sending a Photon spacecraft carrying a small probe to Venus, marking the culmination of a childhood ambition for the CEO.
The private mission is due to launch next May, with an Electron rocket carrying the Photon spacecraft and probe into Earth orbit. The plan is to carry out a Trans Venus Injection on May 24, 2023, after a number of sequential phasing orbits around Earth and a lunar gravity assist.
The Photon will act as the cruise stage and deploy the probe (which can accommodate a single ~1kg instrument) into the atmosphere. The science mission of the probe will last approximately five minutes as it passes through the Venus cloud layers at 48-60km above the planet's surface.
