Hellish Venus is hot, not only temperature-wise but also as a hot topic for exploration. That cloud-veiled world, scientists have postulated, might be a haven for high-altitude life.
Such a prospect is fostering the first-ever private interplanetary mission to Venus to search for signs of life in the clouds by detecting organic compounds. The mission is planned for launch in January 2025 aboard Electron, a rocket developed by the entrepreneurial launch vehicle provider Rocket Lab.
