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...
