This would be followed by ESA EnVision which can use the VOX data to target their high resolution radar mapping and adds on the global atmospheric datasets. And with all this data we would be perfectly prepared for Venera-D<br />I know - it’s a dream but it would the start of a real International Venus exploration programplanetguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673762863436834186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270899075443508100.post-61425592939599694742017-10-19T07:37:20.426-07:002017-10-19T07:37:20.426-07:00Hi

CUVE would obviously be a good candidate - as would be a cubesat lander ;)planetguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673762863436834186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270899075443508100.post-83121056304002401752017-10-01T13:43:52.320-07:002017-10-01T13:43:52.320-07:00Edmund - VOX and Venera-D would be a superb combin...Edmund - VOX and Venera-D would be a superb combination. The latter would include instruments for upper atmosphere studies including I suspect a uv spectrometer. Otherwise vox could carry CUVE although the former is a JPL and the latter a Goddard proposal. JPL likes to propose cubesats as possible extension but proposes its own. A UV instrument would enable measurements of sulfur compounds, a NF goal not addressed by VOX currently Van Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227978868817989527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270899075443508100.post-51221073326352620472017-10-01T13:25:55.743-07:002017-10-01T13:25:55.743-07:00Hi Van, if VOX was selected and Venera-D was to al...Hi Van, if VOX was selected and Venera-D was to also be launched, would this cover the Decadal Requirements? Also having read about the CUVE cubesat would the VOX mission be able to also incorporate CUVE?Edmund Knoreply@blogger.com
