| Summary:
Finding evidence of extraterrestrial life would be one of the most profound
scientific discoveries ever made, advancing humanity into a new epoch of cosmic
awareness. The Venus Life Finder (VLF) missions feature a series of three
direct atmospheric probes designed to assess the habitability of the Venusian
clouds and search for signs of life and life itself. The VLF missions are an
astrobiology-focused set of missions, and the first two out of three can be
launched quickly and at a relatively low cost. The mission concepts come out of
an 18-month study by an MIT-led worldwide consortium.
