The Planetary Society is taking a stand for NASA's stalled VERITAS mission to Venus.

Responding to the White House's 2024 budget proposal for NASA that all but eliminated funding for VERITAS, the space advocacy organization has published an open letter to Congress requesting support for the Venus mission. The letter has been co-signed by the American Geophysical Union, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Tulane University and Mount Holyoke College.
