Venus is the second planet from the Sun after Mercury, followed by the Earth. Its mass is 81.5% of that of the Earth, 85.7% the volume and ~90% by surface area. Its surface gravity is 8.87 m/s2 compared to 9.80665 m/s2 for Earth. In comparison, Mars has 15.1% the volume of Earth and 28.4% the surface area, with a surface gravity of 3.72076 m/s2 whi...
So far the 2020s look to feature a bit of a revival in Venus missions, with five planned missions: 1. Rocket Lab’s atmospheric probe(~2023). 2. India’s Shukrayaan-1(~2024/2026, orbiter). 3. NASA’s VERITAS(~2028, orbiter). 4. Roscosmos’ Venera-D(~2029, orbiter & lander). 5. NASA’s DAVINCI+(~2029/2030, atmospheric). Little is known about Rocket Lab’s...
Although these new missions will still take a number of years to materialize, with most of them likely not reaching Venus until the 2030s, the potential of what we can learn not only about Venus, but also Earth is simply too tempting. Even beyond figuring out what makes Venus tick, or perhaps rather what made it take such a different course from Ea...
