recently Alper Gezeravci We are focused on the ISS thanks to Elon Musk, Mars thanks to Elon Musk and the moon thanks to NASA. However, research into other planets and moons in the solar system continues unabated. The last of these concerns Venus.

Announced in the mission as EnVision Venus European Space Agency; It will work on a planet that offers perfect life chances (!) with conditions rich in sulfuric acid, scorching heat and seasonlessness. Of course, landing on the planet is out of the question.

EnVision will be launched in 2031.

Our instrument in question is Venus It will conduct research from the upper atmosphere to the core. Venus, which is much hotter than Earth, has 92 times more atmospheric pressure, and, strangest of all, spins in the opposite direction and has big question marks on its base. The purpose of this mission is to shed light on this.

The reason why layers such as the atmosphere, surface and core are studied separately in this mission is to see how they interact with each other. Anne Grete Straume-Lidner, one of the scientists in the EnVision project, gave an example of active energy on the surface of Venus. volcanic activity research shows.

The task in question was actually announced in 2021. It’s also very nice to hear that it’s coming to life. ESA (European Space Agency), latest Venus Express in 2006 It sent its vehicle into orbit around the planet and ended its mission in 2014. NASA went to Venus in 1994 with the Magellan vehicle.

In other words, if this mission takes place in 2031 as planned, ESA will encounter Venus after 25 years.

“But why is this planet so important?” If you think so, we’ll take you to our content.
