  1. Jan 25, 2024 · The measurements Envision makes will help unravel key mysteries of our hot neighbour. For example, Envision will reveal how volcanoes, plate tectonics and asteroid impacts have shaped the Venusian surface, and how geologically active the planet is today.

  2. How are Venus’ atmosphere and climate shaped by geological processes? Did Venus have oceans – and could evidence of past water remain in the oldest rocks found on Venus’ surface? How does Venus lose heat, and when and why did the runaway greenhouse effect begin at the planet?

  3. Jun 10, 2021 · Envision will be ESA’s next Venus orbiter, providing a holistic view of the planet from its inner core to upper atmosphere to determine how and why Venus and Earth evolved so differently.

  4. Its thick carbon dioxide atmosphere creates a runaway greenhouse effect causing average surface temperatures of 470 degrees Celsius (878 degrees Fahrenheit) — hot enough to melt lead. Venus’ inhospitable nature is further affirmed by its toxic clouds of sulfuric acid. But it wasn’t always this way.

  5. Jun 10, 2021 · On June 10, 2021, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced the selection of EnVision as its newest medium-class science mission. EnVision will make detailed observations of Venus to understand its history and especially understand the connections between the atmosphere and geologic processes.

  6. Jan 25, 2024 · On 25 January 2023, the European Space Agency (ESA) officially included the Venus mission EnVision, which had been selected two years earlier, in its science programme. A European industrial partner will be selected to build the spacecraft before the end of 2024. The launch is scheduled for 2031.

  8. Dec 1, 2022 · EnVision will investigate Venus from its inner core to its atmosphere at an unprecedented scale of resolution, characterising in particular, core and mantle structure, signs of active and past geologic processes and looking for evidence of the past existence of oceans.
