Yes, the upcoming explorations of Venus will be quite exciting. Not only modern radar imaging of the surface, but also detailed IR imaging. And by itself Venus has one of the more fascinating atmospheres. Robotic probes floating in the "habitable zone" of the atmosphere could be a reality.

JAXA announced that they lost contact with the Akatsuki orbiter in late April, and have been unable to re-establish communications (though they will continue to try)
With the end of the Akatsuki mission, there are no longer any operating spacecraft orbiting Venus. |
