Jul 10, 2023 · The first color pictures taken of the surface of Venus by the Venera-13 space probe. The Venera 13 probe lasted only 127 minutes before succumbing to Venus's extreme surface environment.
Oct 1, 2021 · Abstract. Future missions to Venus will require electrical power, but providing power systems that work in the high temperature environment of the surface of Venus is difficult. Power system choices include solar power from photovoltaic arrays, batteries, radioisotope power systems, and wind. The current state of power technology for operation ...

May 3, 2021 · Article. During a brief swing by Venus, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe detected a natural radio signal that revealed the spacecraft had flown through the planet’s upper atmosphere. This was the first direct measurement of the Venusian atmosphere in nearly 30 years — and it looks quite different from Venus past. A study published today confirms ...
Nov 5, 2024 · After exploring the top of Venus’s atmosphere and the composition of a mountainous region known as Alpha Regio, DAVINCI will drop its probe to the surface in 2031. The DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) mission will explore whether the inhospitable surface of Venus could once have been a twin of Earth – a habitable world with liquid water ...
Apr 6, 2017 · Cycling between high and low altitudes (e.g., 65k to 15km), the probe can be utilized as a long duration low-altitude aerial platform for Venus exploration. This would enable new scientific studies on the Venus inner atmosphere and surface geology using advanced analytical and imaging techniques.
Feb 24, 2021 · “If WISPR can sense the thermal emission from the surface of Venus and nightglow — most likely from oxygen — at the limb of the planet, it can make valuable contributions to studies of the Venusian surface.” Parker Solar Probe is part of NASA’s Living with a Star program to explore aspects of the Sun-Earth system that directly affect ...
