Russia may send a mission to study life on Venus in 2027

Despite the fact that the Russian program for the study of Venus involves three missions starting in 2029, it

may be replenished with another urgent mission in 2027 aimed at identifying life on the planet.

Recall that last month, American andBritish scientists informed the public that phosphine, presumably of biological origin, was found in the atmosphere of Venus. It can be released by microorganisms that do not use oxygen for the respiratory process. In Russia, in turn, they believe that the mere presence of biomarkers in the planet's atmosphere cannot be regarded as evidence of the existence of life on Venus. It is noted that contact research of this planet is required to obtain reliable scientific data.
