The Planetary Society Petition for VERITAS

NASA selected VERITAS in June 2021 and put the mission on hold this past November despite it being on time and on budget. Its development budget has been zeroed for the next five years (with only a small amount for the science team), and VERITAS scheduled to launch “no earlier than 2031”. This action sets a scary precedent for the NASA mission selection process that threatens the integrity of the Decadal prioritization process and all current and future mission competitions.

 

The Planetary Society plans to petition Congress to stipulate a 2029 launch date for VERITAS. The Advocacy Action Center at the Planetary Society has created an on-line petition to request that the upcoming 2023 NASA Authorization establish a firm launch date of no later than 2029 for VERITAS, in accordance with National Academies' decadal priorities and a reasonable accommodation for the delays imposed on the project by NASA.

 

To support this petition, please click here to see (and sign) the petition to our elected officials. Please share this with any U.S. friends and family you may have!
