Description

As the agency reported it.

After being left unattended for more than a decade venus will soon be again the focus for detailed studies by an orbiting spacecraft. Venus express is an ESA mission for an in depth study of the atmosphere and some specific aspects of the surface of the planet. The venus express spacecraft will perform precise determination of the atmospheric circulation and composition and study the interaction of the atmosphere with the interplanetary medium. For the first time the surface will be studied by using the infrared windows through the atmosphere. Venus express represents a unique opportunity for europe to further enhance the experience of exploring the, in several respects, most earth-like of the planets in our solar system, following the success of mars express. IT is an outstanding science opportunity that can be implemented at relatively low cost and risk as the mission derives much of its design and the programmatic approach from the mars express and rosetta programmes. IT is an opportunity that was clearly recognised by the scientific community and was seized upon by the agency.
