This image shows interesting areas on Venus that ESA's Envision mission will study in detail, as well as examples of questions it hopes to answer. In the middle we see an oval-shaped colour-coded Venus terrain map, where pink shows the highlands and purple shows the lowlands. Four insets, two on each side, show black-and-white close-up images of specific regions Envision will look at and questions it hopes to answer.
The industrial development of #ESAEnvision started in December 2024.
ESA teams are contributing with several instrument & satellite support activities, including testing components exposed to the aerobraking manoeuvres that will enable the spacecraft to enter its science orbit at Venus.

#ESAEnvision is an ESA-led mission in partnership with NASA.
It's targeting launch in 2031 on an Ariane 64.
The spacecraft will reach Venus after a 15-month cruise. After arriving, it will spend 11 months aerobraking through Venus’s atmosphere to progressively reach its science orbit

Infographic focusing on the science Envision will perform at Venus. The image shows Envision in orbit at Venus. The planet is seen in a cross section, revealing all components that the mission will study: atmosphere, surface, subsurface, mantle and core. A volcano inset on the left illustrates the first three components that Envision will study, while an inset on the right shows the core and mantle.
#ESAEnvision will address several key questions about Venus:
🌋 How geologically active is the planet today?
☁️ How are its thick clouds sustained?
🥵 How does Venus lose its heat?
💦 Where did its water go?
🪨 How does the planet’s surface change over time?

A #CosmicVision mission, #ESAEnvision will be the first mission to provide a complete view of Venus from its inner core to its upper atmosphere.
Its goal is to determine how and why Venus and Earth evolved so differently.
