  1. Jan 25, 2024 · [Image description: Infographic focusing on the science Envision will perform at Venus. The image shows Envision in orbit at Venus. The planet is seen in a cross section, revealing all components that the mission will study: atmosphere, surface, subsurface, mantle and core. A volcano inset on the left illustrates the first three components that ...

  2. Jan 27, 2024 · An artist's illustration depicts the EnVision mission to Venus, which will help scientists understand why Earth's most similar planetary neighbor in size is so different from our world.

  3. Envision is the first mission to Venus with a subsurface radar sounding instrument (SRS), which will directly measure the planet’s subsurface features. Furthermore, its VenSAR radar will be the first instrument to image parts of the planet at a very fine resolution of 10 metres and to perform polarimetric imaging, to further advance our knowledge of Venus’ surface.

    The EnVision orbiter will set out to study current conditions on Venus and ascertain how the planet evolved. The mission will launch late 2031 atop an Ariane 62 from the Guiana Space Centre. Scientists hope the mission’s data will deliver new insights into how and why Venus and Earth evolved so differently and tell us more about the formation and evolution of planets with a similar mass to ...

  5. Jan 26, 2024 · ESA's Venus Express (2005–2014) focused on the planet's atmosphere, but also made dramatic discoveries that pointed to possible volcanic hotspots on the planet's surface.

  6. Jan 25, 2024 · To ensure that it collects data on the most interesting parts of Venus’s surface, Envision’s observations are carefully planned by scientists, including planetary geologists. The spacecraft’s VenSAR radar instrument will be the first to map parts of the surface down to 10 m resolution, and even to allow scientists to investigate the surface properties and texture.

  8. EnVision aims to characterize Venus’ core and mantle structure, to detect signs of past geologic processes, and to look for evidence of past liquid water. Recent modelling studies strongly suggest that the evolution of the atmosphere and interior of Venus are coupled, emphasizing the need to study the atmosphere, surface, and interior of Venus as a system.
