Mar 10, 1993 · As of March 15, Magellan will have circled Venus 7,889 times since August 10, 1990; it has collected images of 98 percent of the planet. There also will have been 1,000 orbits of gravity data collection. Magellan's research will be presented in four separate sessions of the four-day conference.
Venus QuickMap, a powerful map interface to browse Venus data. Explore Venus in both 2D and 3D. Developed by Applied Coherent Technology and customized with support from NASA's Planetary Science Division Research Program, through the ISFM work package Planetary Geodesy at Goddard Space Flight Center.

The first mission, for which Dyar serves as the No. 2 scientist (Smrekar is No. 1), launches in 2028. The Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy(or VERITAS) spacecraft will spend about six months traveling to Venus, and then roughly three years in orbit. From its perch between 110 and 150 miles above the planet (half t...
As VERITAS orbits Venus, it will be joined mid-mission by the Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging Plus(DAVINCI+). Launching in 2029, DAVINCI+ will, after six months of transit, spend 16 months doing a series of Venus flybys, which it will use to adjust its position as necessary to precisely deliver its payload...
Dyar hopes that, after a decade of disappointment, VERITAS and DAVINCI+ will usher in a decade of action for the Venus community. With modern maps and datasets, the knowledge gap between what researchers understand of Venus and what they understand of Mars will begin to narrow. To really catch up, however, they’ll need to touch down on the surface....
Dec 11, 2019 · In her office at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, the planetary scientist displays a 30-year-old image of Venus’ surface taken by the Magellan spacecraft, a reminder of how much time has passed since an American mission orbited the planet.
Venus Facts. Venus is the second planet from the Sun, and our closest planetary neighbor. It's the hottest planet in our solar system, and is sometimes called Earth's twin.
Jun 2, 2021 · VERITAS’s dynamic map of Venus, which could discern changes by imaging one spot on the surface several times, may also show that the planet is still volcanically active today.

Dec 29, 2023 · The images they returned had a resolution of 1-2 kilometers (0.62-1.24 miles), providing the first detailed maps of much of the surface of Venus and discovering massive, apparently dormant volcanoes. NASA’s Magellan spacecraft, which arrived at Venus in 1990, made the first global map of the planet.
