the claim

NASA's DAVINCI probe is designed to descend through the atmosphere of Venus and measure its composition on the way down.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that NASA's DAVINCI probe is designed to descend through the atmosphere of Venus and measure its composition on the way down?

Yes. NASA's own page and the DAVINCI mission paper state the probe descends through Venus' atmosphere and measures the chemical and isotopic composition of the gases during that descent. Several other Venus mission papers mention DAVINCI's composition measurements or its planned launch without describing the descent design.
