The DLR - English and NASA JPL VERITAS team our out on Iceland to prepare for this fantastic Venus mission! #GoVERITAS dlr.de/en/latest/news…

VERITAS’s Iceland field campaign is off to fabulous start! Our concurrent field observations and DLR’s airborne radar data will be invaluable for our future Venus change detection and geologic studies. Check us out on insta:#ExpeditionVERITAS and soon on ARCHIVED - NASA Expeditions (fb, X)

Hello from Iceland! 👋 🌋 Members of the VERITAS science team are studying the volcanic island’s geology to help prepare for NASA’s mission to Venus. Can you guess what the acronym VERITAS stands for?

Wait... what?
