The Venus Orbiter Mission (VOM), which is intended to orbit a spacecraft in the orbit of planet Venus for a better understanding of the Venusian surface and subsurface, atmospheric processes, and influence of Sun on Venusian atmosphere, was approved by the Union Cabinet on September 18, 2024, under the direction of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
VERITAS and NASA’s DAVINCI mission will be the first U.S.-led missions to Venus since Magellan three decades ago. VERITAS will have a low, circular orbit around Venus, allowing its instruments to collect high-resolution, global maps of the hellish surface hidden beneath the clouds.
The design for the VERITAS spacecraft, seen here, has much in common with NASA's MAVEN spacecraft, which has orbited Mars since 2014. The VERITAS mission is led by Principal Investigator Sue Smrekar, and managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.
Nov 9, 2017 · VERITAS, together with NASA’s planned Davinci mission, represents the first U.S.-led exploration of Venus since Magellan three decades ago. The mission is designed to bring the VERITAS science investigations into a low, circular orbit around Venus, in order to collect high-resolution, global maps of the hellish surface hidden beneath the clouds.
VERITAS (Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy) is an upcoming mission from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to map the surface of the planet Venus in high resolution.
