Scientists at the Division of Planetary Sciences meeting in Pasadena, California, this week said that data streaming from the Venus Express probe had provided unprecedented detail of the Venusian atmosphere and the first-ever peek at its lower strata. |

....this week said that data streaming from the Venus Express probe had provided unprecedented detail of the Venusian atmosphere ... Well it's good to know that someone is getting "streams" of data. All the images the BBC used have been online for months - most are shown above in this thread and were posted here six months ago. However it must be said that this article is one of the most informed we've seen on the mission since it started doing science in earnest and to save you all the bother I have extracted all of the information it contains that we did not already know prior to VEx reaching the planet. QUOTE But for now, scientists are happy to report that all the instruments are in good working order and beaming back massive amounts of data. "It's a treasure trove of information," said David Grinspoon, a participating scientist with the mission, "and we've barely opened the chest and looked in." Thanks for that. I would note that it is my belief that the above is slightly incorrect as the PFS is still offline. I live in hope that my grand children will some day get to see this treasure trove. |
