It seems in recent years this mission is refered to as Davinci+. Not sure what the "plus" is for, but does this warrant renaming the article? -- Darthdyas ( talk) 23:29, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

There has been some confusion and mixup of information in the article. Information for a seperate mission to Venus called VERTITAS was incorrectly placed into this article. That one is a seperate mission from DAVINVI+. The two missions are related and got announced at the same time, but still different missions with different objectives. The DAVINVI+ mission will study the atmosphere and the VERTITAS mission will study the surface. The content for VERITAS needs to be removed from this article and maybe added to the VERITAS article where it belongs. Or maybe they can be merged into a single page covering both missions?

I possibly editted out a sentence in error, but I am not sure and either way the wording risked being confusing. I altered a segment that stated that "Before it reaches the surface, the ''DAVINCI''+ probe will take the first ever photos of the planet's intriguing, ridged terrain". The
Venera programme was the first to transmit images of the planet's surface, so that statement is at least superficially incorrect.
Having had some time to dwell on it, it strikes me that the original author may have meant (or parroted a NASA press release that meant) that it would broadcast the first high resolution images, or perhaps the first aerial images of the planets terrain (I suspect both would be true statements). If that was the case, please revert and change accordingly. Either way the original sentence stood to be misleading to a uninformed reader who may not be aware of the early Soviet landers and the photographs they transmitted.

While it seems NASA has changed the project name from DAVINCI+ back to DAVINCI, as can be seen on the mission list index here, I can't find any sources that say when this happened or what the rationale was. If anybody finds some later, please work them into the article. When/if that happens, this page should probably be moved to DAVINCI, which currently redirects here.
