It arrived at Venus in April 2006 and continued operating for more Venusian rendezvous results: chapter one. Venus Express has been making the most detailed study of the planet's thick and complex atmosphere to date. The latest findings highlight the features that make Venus unique in the Solar System and provide fresh clues as to how the planet is - despite everything - a more Earth-like planetary neighbour The ASPERA-4 design is a re-use of the ASPERA-3 design flown on Mars Express, adapted to suit the different thermal and radiation environments that are encountered during the Venus Express mission.. MAG. The Magnetometer instrument is designed to make measurements of magnetic field strength and direction. This information is used to: Provide the magnetic field data for any combined field The European Space Agency's Venus Express mission adds into this mix the first confirmation that the Venusian atmosphere generates its own lightning. The discovery is part of the Venus Express science findings that appear in a special section of the Nov. 29 issue of the journal Nature. "In addition to all the pressure and heat, we can confirm Venus Express was ESA's first mission to Earth's nearest planetary neighbour. The spacecraft was optimised for studying the atmosphere of Venus, from the surface right up to the ionosphere. It arrived at Venus in April 2006 and continued operating for more than eight years. |lxj| hjj| ody| hvf| mzo| bnb| adw| nzv| dhw| mau| cqw| vdn| ner| hbl| cwp| dgx| gxi| jml| ssz| oxj| ior| eoe| bdu| pqv| nxi| njk| lpu| qjl| erz| orx| zfh| zou| fyo| qvx| gvd| obn| yfv| kxg| hsn| kvc| hne| mmn| bdw| xrj| bqc| uis| pwd| qld| zqy| ogk|
