If all goes well, Venus Express will be a major topic for discussion in this forum a year from now. Does anyone know how good the surface coverage will be from VIRTIS and VMC? My understanding is that VIRTIS will obtain low resolution multispectral maps, and that VMC will, in addition to cloud monitoring, have one channel that can see the surface, but I don't know at what resolution or at what quality. It will be nice to have some non-radar images of Venus' surface besides the Venera snapshots and the shadowy images from Earth and Galileo's NIMS.

QUOTE (cndwrld @ Jun 19 2015, 02:33 AM)  I don't see us going back to Venus any time soon, sadly. Compared to the lead time for outer solar system missions, I bet another radar mission sneaks in there faster than you think. |

Well, if we drop it from an orbiter straight onto a then-actively-observed hotspot to find out if it's a vulcano we could save ourselves the radar...

Doing the aerobraking experiments at the end of the VEX mission was a ton of work. So we're all glad to see the first results published, and happy that the results are so interesting.

"From 2013 - 2016, the EuroVenus consortium united dozens of researchers from across Europe in research of the planet Venus, using observations from the Venus Express satellite, but also from a range of telescopes around the world. This documentary follows some of the work done by the consortium, in their home institutions and at various observatories."
