Depends on how deep you go. I'm surprised none of the proposed missions that I can find are considering staying higher up where it's not hot and crushing and have an extended mission. They're mostly orbiting and then DAVINCI which will fall to the surface transmitting data as long as it can. Why not use the middle area? Eh, they know far more than me.
