Interesting news item from The Asian Age:
http://www.asianage.com/india/after-mars-i...e-2-3-years-335 Quick summary - looks like it's only a feasibility study, so I don't know how far it has gone along the planning and proposal process. But the veteran French planetary balloon proponent Jacques Blamont has been working with Indians on the plans, and one or more balloons in the atmosphere are part of the mission plan. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

They are still targeting a December 2024 launch date - very exciting to see a decade of Venusian exploration kicking off soon with Rocketlab saying in the past few months that they are still going for a 2023 launch date, with a 2 pound payload (that they have started working on)
