Regarding the few images released after the 6/5/2007 Messenger flyby of Venus:
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA10124 The image caption states that 614 images were acquired. Are these available? After all these missions, there is still a lack of (available) visible-light (non-UV) images of the 2nd rock. |

Yes, they are available - all of the Messenger images are released through the PDS imaging node: http://img.pds.nasa.gov/ Visible light images are (almost) completely featureless with the exception of violet images so they aren't that useful. Thank you. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any full-disk views there, unless a mosaic can be assembled from the close-ups. In any case, I've always wanted a photo/image of Venus as our eyes would see it in person. I hope a future spacecraft using Venus for a gravity assist could snap a few photos. |
