Venus Missions
Venus missions refer to various space exploration efforts aimed at studying the planet Venus. These missions have been conducted by several space agencies, including NASA and ESA, to gather data about Venus's atmosphere, surface, and geological features. Notable missions include Mariner 2, the first successful flyby in 1962, and Venera 7, which became the first spacecraft to land on Venus in 1970.
Recent missions, such as NASA's Parker Solar Probe and ESA's Venus Express, have provided valuable insights into the planet's extreme conditions, including its thick atmosphere and high temperatures. Future missions, like NASA's DAVINCI+ and VERITAS, aim to further explore Venus's geology and potential for past habitability.
