Described as the “twin” of our planet VenusIt is known as the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Over the years, many of Venus’ features, such as its mass and gravity, have been found to be almost the same as our planet. However, hot air and toxic gases detected on the planet’s surface require a decision as to whether the planet is habitable or not. blocked.
NASA engineers, on the other hand, are continuing their work at full speed to investigate our sister planet in more detail. The “Space Balloon” project, NASA’s largest research project on the subject, was successfully tested in the Nevada desert in the US yesterday.
will scrutinize the surface of Venus
This space balloon, designed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), resembles the balloons in Cappadocia from the outside. But of course it isn’t. This “Aerobot” is actually of two intertwined balloons is formed. Helium gas in the inner balloon and this gas that allows to give and withdraw to the outer balloon a motorcycle is available. The outer balloon is made of a much more flexible material compared to the balloons we know. on the surface of Venus Designed to withstand high temperatures and gases.
Although the balloon is not suitable for flying on the surface of the planet, it will be able to observe the planet by comfortably flying in the atmosphere considered “habitable” a few kilometers above the surface. After the sensors and cameras at the bottom of the balloon study the planet, this information is Will send it to a second vehicle orbiting Venus. Thanks to this tool, all collected information will be examined by NASA and it will be determined whether the planet is habitable or not.
Space balloon successfully tested
A ready-made prototype of the Venus space balloon was recently tested in the Nevada desert in the US. The balloon, which was deliberately tested during the hottest hours of the day, was given extra heat before testing began. In this way the balloon in Venus possible performance tested. Aerobot was said to have successfully completed the tests.
Of course, this Aerobot isn’t the only space balloon ever sent to Venus. Soviet Union in 1984 Vega 1 and Vega 2 He sent two space balloons called Venus to Venus until the energy of the two balloons ran out (each balloon was about 48 hours could stay in the air) had collected data. When NASA will launch the Venus mission is currently unknown. Unknown.
