Jan 25, 2024 · We're heading for Venus: ESA approves Envision. ESA’s next mission to Venus was officially ‘adopted’ today by the Agency’s Science Programme Committee. Envision will study Venus from its inner core to its outer atmosphere, giving important new insight into the planet's history, geological activity and climate. Being adopted means that ...
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.
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. 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 ...
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. The mission was selected by ESA’s Science Programme Committee on 10 June as the fifth Medium-class mission in the Agency’s Cosmic Vision plan, targeting ...
Feb 2, 2024 · EnVision will work with Nasa’s upcoming DAVINCI+ (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble Gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) and VERITAS (Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy) missions to provide the most comprehensive study of Venus till date. “Special to EnVision is the mission’s approach to studying the ...
Jun 10, 2021 · EnVision will make detailed observations of Venus to understand its history and especially understand the connections between the atmosphere and geologic processes. As a key partner in the mission, NASA provides the synthetic aperture radar, called VenSAR, to make high-resolution measurements of the planet’s surface features.
