Indian Venusian Exploration Program

[Indx TechStyle]

Mentioned earlier unofficially, India's Venus exploration plans have gone official now.
I hope it's not too early when I created this thread.

It's not bad having some extra feather on cap.
:biggrin2:
But I don't find anything much useful on Venus. Wondering why it attracts everyone. Soviets, Americans, Europeans, Japanese and now Indians.

More important, I'm waiting for HLVs after which we will be able to carry out exciting deep space missions like to Jupiter, Neptune and even beyond Solar System in long term, somewhat like Voyager.:biggrin2:

It's early indeed.

But Venus is special so special that this might happen

Yup a joint mission by US and Russia with a rover and lander.

Your second post is the reply to your question. Study of Venus and Mercury are a curious case of knowledge gathering regarding how geography of earth works. Although I've not yet came across any agency planning to deploy a rover in Venus, but I am sure that NASA would deploy one soon enough in future. Venus in itself is a gold mine for exotic minerals.

Recently I was just watching a documentary on space where it was revealed how Hubble has discovered a planet which is just half the distance away from its sun then what Mercury is from Sun. But still the planet is rock solid in formation which is baffling enough for the astro physicist. Study of planets like Mercury and Venus does help to solve mysteries like this and due to their extreme condition, many known minerals does undergo a drastic and unknown changes in properties which are worth studying.

First an orbiter independently, then, anything else.
It will occur because officially confirmed.
Plus, there will be a joint collaboration with France, not US or Russia.

I think we should play differently than other players. Given our limited budget and resources we should focus on moon and Mars . Meanwhile there is no harm in shooting one or two explorers in the wild universe.

But for next two-three decades we must strive to become a moon - mars expert nation.

You got it wrong. I posted about US - Russia mission which has nothing to do with India to highlight the importance of Venus.:biggrin2:

Off course but a little tickling in between won't be bad.
Our budget will rise eventually.

u forgot to mention USSR/Russian . they landed their probe on the surface of venus..and they are the only space program to do so..
space docking has found it place in this budget.. great..

????????????????????????????????????

Soviets, Americans, Europeans, Japanese and now Indians.

 

[Akask kumar]

????????????????????????????????????

sorry i missed that one.. what i remember indian venus probe will be a floating one because venus has a very thick atmosphere..

Waste of time, effort, and money.

It would have been better to concentrate resources for exploring the Moon instead. After all, the ultimate aim should be to establish bases on the Moon for furthering space exploration to the planets which would be far more cost effective than launching probes from Earth.

Come on, it's a small probe, not some massive program whose funding could affect Lunar exploration.

It would cost a whopping $50 to $70 million at the least! Now that ain't small change by any stretch of imagination! That money can be put into building a state of the art Moon Rover with some cutting edge tech.

By the way, whatever happened to Chandrayaan 2??

We are doing already, two rovers by end of this or start of next year and third one in mid 2018.
When you will start exploring Venus? From scratch when you'll immediately need that?

By the way, whatever happened to Chandrayaan 2??

Progressing very well.

India's Lunar ambitions are much bigger than Venusian ones including setting up laboratories, searching possibilities for mining and exploit it in long term.
Moon is full of Titanium and Helium-3, crucial for us.

Just some pun:

As per Roman Mythology,Mars was god of war and Venus was goddess of love.
