Unveiling Venus: The Journey of Venus Express

The Venus Express mission aims to uncover the mysteries of Venus's dense atmosphere and unique climate by studying its lower atmosphere and chemical composition. Equipped with advanced instruments, this European spacecraft will provide unprecedented views of the planet and help scientists understand why Venus, Earth's near twin, evolved so differently. Despite a launch delay due to contamination concerns, the mission is set to launch on a Soyuz frigate launcher from Kazakhstan and promises to deliver valuable insights into the planetary evolution of Venus.
