New Views of Venus: Science, Technology, and Missions
Session ID#: 76247
Session Description:
Venus is the least explored terrestrial planet. As the first planet to support oceans of liquid water, there is growing recognition that Venus might well be the benchmark to understand key ingredients for habitability. Are all the 'Earth-like' exoplanets we find really 'Venus-like'? Is Venus a failed Earth, or is Earth a failed Venus? Such questions will not be answered by a single mission, so it is timely to think in terms of a Venus program. This session seeks to explore the parameters of that program. This session seeks to integrate science, technology, and mission strategies needed to understand Venus, inviting submissions in three categories. The first relates to new advances in enabling technology for Venus exploration, the second to new mission concepts and designs suited to Venus, and the third includes work relating to recent Venus science from old and new data and missions.
