A look at Rocket Lab’s private mission to Earth’s twin and how NASA decides what planets to visit. Mars has been the bell of the planetary ball in the last few decades but that’s not to say other planets in the solar system, like Venus, haven’t had a fair share of attention over the years.
NASA last sent a spacecraft to orbit Earth’s nearest neighbor in 1990. Russia, formerly the Soviet Union, sent a whole slew of mostly successful missions to Venus, and Japan has an orbiter there now.

A system originally developed to collect distributed strain and temperature measurements on aircraft has been enhanced to support future NASA space missions. Two companies were selected by NASA through the 2020 Announcement of Collaboration Opportunity to further develop and commercialize the technology.
The Fiber Optic Sensing System (FOSS) developed at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, uses sensors that are the size of a human hair to monitor vehicle structural and thermal response. Much of the technology effort to advance FOSS for use on airplanes and rockets was funded by the Space Technology Mission Directorate’s Center Innovation Fund.
