- Envision factsheet
EnVision is an orbital mission to Venus being developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) that is planned to perform high-resolution radar mapping and atmospheric studies.
Envision will combine observations at ultraviolet, infrared, microwave and high frequency radio wavelengths to study geological and atmospheric processes at a range of scales, from the core to the upper atmosphere of Venus.
EnVision will be the first mission to investigate Venus from its inner core to its upper atmosphere, characterising the interaction between its different envelopes: its atmosphere, surface/subsurface and interior. It aims to provide a holistic view of Venus, studying the planet’s history, activity and climate.
