Observations and explorations of Venus. Venus in real colors, processed from clear and blue filtered Mariner 10 images. Observations of the planet Venus include those in antiquity, telescopic observations, and from visiting spacecraft. Spacecraft have performed various flybys, orbits, and landings on Venus, including balloon probes that floated ...
There have been 46 (including gravity-assist flybys) space missions to the planet Venus. Missions to Venus constitute part of the exploration of Venus. The Soviet Union followed by the United States have soft landed probes on the surface. Venera 7 was the first lander overall and first for the Soviet Union, touching down on 15 December 1970.
Venus Express (VEX) was the first Venus exploration mission of the European Space Agency (ESA). Launched in November 2005, it arrived at Venus in April 2006 and began continuously sending back science data from its polar orbit around Venus. Equipped with seven scientific instruments, the main objective of the mission was the long term ...
Venus is the second planet from the Sun. It is a terrestrial planet and is the closest in mass and size to its orbital neighbour Earth. Venus has by far the densest atmosphere of the terrestrial planets, composed mostly of carbon dioxide with a thick, global sulfuric acid cloud cover.
This page is the better one, but some information from Exploration of Venus could be included. "Exploration of Venus" contains too much of a bias toward Magellan, and glosses over all other missions. This page could use a little more information about Magel Merge Exploration of Venus into this one--GW_Simulations 15:19, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
The Venus Orbiter Mission (VOM), unofficially known as Shukrayaan[6][7][8][9][10][11] (Sanskrit: Śukra 'Venus', Yāna 'Craft, Vehicle'), [12] is a planned Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) mission to study the surface and atmosphere of Venus. [13][14][15][16] Funds were released in 2017 to complete preliminary studies, and ...
DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) is a planned mission for an orbiter and atmospheric probe to the planet Venus. Together with the separate VERITAS mission, which will also study Venus, it was selected by NASA on June 2, 2021 to be part of their Discovery Program .
VERITAS (spacecraft) VERITAS ( Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy) is an upcoming mission from NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to map the surface of the planet Venus in high resolution. The combination of topography, near-infrared spectroscopy, and radar image data will provide knowledge of Venus's ...
