Venus Express was a mission by the European Space Agency to study the atmosphere and surface characteristics of Venus from orbit. The design was based on ESA's Mars Express and Rosetta missions. The probe's main objective was the long-term observation of the Venusian atmosphere, which it is hoped will also contribute to an understanding of ...
First ever panorama image of the dust ring of Venus's orbital space, imaged by Parker Solar Probe. Venus' orbital space has been shown to have its own dust ring-cloud, [22] with a suspected origin either from Venus trailing asteroids, [23] interplanetary dust migrating in waves, or the remains of the Solar System's circumstellar disc out of ...
CubeSat UV Experiment (CUVE) is a space mission concept to study the atmospheric processes of the planet Venus with a small satellite. Specifically, the orbiter mission would study an enigmatic ultraviolet light absorber of unknown composition situated within the planet's uppermost cloud layer that absorbs about half the solar radiation downwelling in the planet's atmosphere.
The European Space Agency has officially adopted two new space missions to study Venus from its ... An artist impression's shows EnVision after the spacecraft would arrive in orbit around Venus ...
524522 Zoozve (/ ˈ z uː z v eɪ / ⓘ; provisional designation 2002 VE 68) is a sub-kilometer sized asteroid and temporary quasi-satellite of Venus. [5] Discovered in 2002, it was the first such object to be discovered around a major planet in the Solar System.
594913 ꞌAylóꞌchaxnim (provisional designation 2020 AV 2) is a large near-Earth asteroid discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility on 4 January 2020. It is the first asteroid discovered to have an orbit completely within Venus's orbit, and is thus the first and only known member of the eponymous ꞌAylóꞌchaxnim [5] (informally named Vatira before its discovery) [2] population of Atira ...
In 2016, astronomers spotted an asteroid about the size of a ferris wheel in an Earth-like orbit around the Sun. Turns out it's actually a chunk of the moon.
Venera 15 (Russian: Венера-15 meaning Venus 15) was a spacecraft sent to Venus by the Soviet Union. This uncrewed orbiter was to map the surface of Venus using high resolution imaging systems. The spacecraft was identical to Venera 16 and based on modifications to the earlier Venera space probes.
