Observing Venus with the Bamberg refraktor at the Wilhelm-Förster Sternwarte - what an extra treat after the fantastic public lecture by David Grinspoon - thank you Monika Staesche 🪐 🐘 @monika_staesche for organizing!

The future of Venus exploration is bright and sunny :) Closing out the 3 days International EnvisionVenus Venus Science workshop at DLR_de - tons of discussions, networking and so many new ideas! In person and online - we had more than 230 participants

Well done Giulia Alemanno mdpi.com/2075-163X/13/6…

VERITAS’s Iceland field campaign is off to fabulous start! Our concurrent field observations and DLR’s airborne radar data will be invaluable for our future Venus change detection and geologic studies. Check us out on insta:#ExpeditionVERITAS and soon on ARCHIVED - NASA Expeditions (fb, X)

Preparing for #Venus! 🚀🟡 DLR & NASA JPL are conducting a field campaign for NASA’s VERITAS mission. #ExpeditionVERITAS is currently under way in #Iceland, where the volcanic activity resembles what is to be expected on the ‘morning star’. ℹ️: dlr.de/en/latest/news…

The entire VERITAS team thanks you for following our journey with #ExpeditionVERITAS. We can't wait to share our (and our future spacecraft's) next adventures with you—on Earth and especially at Venus! 🌋 🛰️

Kick-off of the #VenSpec Suite Meeting at #MPSGoettingen! Hope you enjoy a week of talks, discussions & more. VenSpec will travel to #Venus on European Space Agency’s mission #EnVision to study the planet’s surface, clouds, atmosphere. EnvisionVenus DLR - English LATMOS IAA-CSIC BIRA-IASB

It’s official, I have been adopted! Time to celebrate!

Day1 @ #LPSC2024 and plenty of excitement (and stickers). Great news for VERITAS at long last. #venus #venusexploration

VERITAS is back in the budget!! 🚀❤️ The project will get going full swing this fall (FY25). We’re looking at a 31 launch (TBC). Thanks to everyone who’s supported our return to Venus!! It’s going to be fabulous 😍

You heard it yesterday- spectroscopy is the rave for Venus.. learn tonight all about it and chat to the Venus Emissivity Mapper team #VERITAS #EnVision Venus Exploration Analysis Group (VEXAG) #LPSC2024

While operating our incredible fleet of explorers, we also keep our eyes on future targets 👀 #Envision is targeting a launch in the early 2030s. The mission will reach Venus after a 15-month cruise. Learn more 👇 esa.int/Science_Explor…

Why Venus? Venus is the most Earth-like of the Sun’s terrestrial planets in terms of its size, composition and distance from the Sun. Yet, at some point in planetary history, the two started to evolve very differently. Venus today is far too hot to host liquid water at its

The MERTIS on Bepi watch party is in full swing while European Space Agency BepiColombo is flying by Mercury - tomorrow at DLR - English we will move to the data processing

Yesterday BepiColombo greeted Mercury from just 37628 km away, using MERTIS on Bepi to take the first ever space-based pictures of the planet in mid-infrared wavelengths. We'll reveal what Bepi saw in the coming week! 👇 esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…

I saw Mercury in infrared light for the first time last week - the planet's sunlit side looks simply... radiant🥹

This holiday season, Venus reminds us that there is always more to seek and discover 🔭. Here's to exploring the unknown and cherishing the universal spirit of curiosity & wonder 💫! Happy Winter Holidays from all of us ESA_Envision team❄️☃️🎄! Thank you for being part of our

The European Space Agency mini-site dedicated to ESA_Envision is now on line! Scheduled for launch in 2031, Envision will provide a complete view of Venus from its inner core to its upper atmosphere to determine how and why Venus and Earth evolved so differently. esa.int/Science_Explor…

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Today, we honor not only the incredible contributions of women in STEM disciplines worldwide, but also the inspiring talent of our #ESAEnVision team. We believe that women and girls belong in science, not just for fairness,
