The Venus Life Finder has been anticipated to launch this summer 2026 via Rocket Lab's Electron.
But the last news was they switched to the Neutron rocket due scheduling and interplanetary performance, but Neutron isn't quite ready and this may delay Venus Life Finder till 2027. @RocketLab #venus

Barnard's Star racing through space over a seven year period
Barnard's Star is a faint red dwarf located just 6 light-years away in Ophiuchus. It holds the record for the highest proper motion of any known star, racing across the sky at over 10.3 arc seconds per year, first measured by E.E. Barnard in 1916. This rapid apparent motion makes it shift noticeably against the far more distant background stars.
In 2024–2025, astronomers confirmed four tiny sub-Earth-mass planets orbiting it (Barnard’s Star b, c, d, and e). With masses between 0.19 and 0.34 Earth masses, these rocky worlds orbit very close to their star on periods of just 3–7 days.
Detected via precise radial velocity data from ESPRESSO and MAROON-X, they are far too hot for life but represent an exciting breakthrough in finding planets around one of our nearest stellar neighbors. A true cosmic speedster with its own planetary system!
