Missions to Venus

Image 1. Topography and SAR image of the research area on Venus. Color indicates altitudes, measured relative to the planet's mean radius from Magellan's reticulated altitude data. The X and Y axes represent geographic longitude and latitude of the planet. From the study.

A new analysis of data from the XNUMXs has proven that volcanoes are still erupting on Venus today

The Envision mission will not have much fuel, so it is going to perform an atmospheric braking on Venus

The project's research director on behalf of the European Space Agency: "The flight on Ariane 6 will not allow all the extra propellant that would be necessary to lower the orbit. Instead we will slow ourselves down by making repeated passes through the upper atmosphere of Venus, lowering to 130 km from the face of the planet"
