论文摘要
寻找外星人生活的证据将是有史以来最深刻的科学发现之一，将人类推向了宇宙意识的新时代。维纳斯生活发现者（VLF）任务采用了一系列三个直接大气探针，旨在评估金星云的可居住性，并寻找生命和生命本身的迹象。 VLF任务是一组以天文学为中心的任务，三分之二的前两个可以快速启动，成本相对较低。这一任务概念来自由麻省理工学院领导的全球财团进行的18个月研究。
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.
