After the Moon and Mars, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is now preparing to send a spacecraft to the planet Venus. ISRO has sought proposals for scientific instruments from the international community for this mission. According to the plan, the spacecraft equipped with 12 scientific instruments (payloads) will be sent on Venus by the middle of 2023.

ISRO is trying to build a vehicle capable of carrying a payload of 100 kg. It will also produce 500 watts of energy for the operation of the Venusian equipment and the mission itself. ISRO has said that during the last few decades, the development of space technology, increase in observational capacity and advancement in computational technology has made considerable progress in the study of the solar system. This has led to an understanding of the complex processes of the solar system.

Study the effect of solar winds

The mission of ISRO will be to study the surface, subsurface, atmospheric chemistry of Venus and the effect of solar radiation and solar winds. During this period other aspects including the atmospheric composition of Venus, ionosphere, plasma, interactions between Sun and Venus will also be studied.

This is how you will reach

The spacecraft will be placed in the orbit of the planet Venus 500 times 60 thousand kilometers. That is, the nearest distance from the Venus surface of the vehicle in this orbit will be 500 km and the maximum distance will be 60 thousand km.

So necessary

Venus is considered the twin sister of the earth. There is a considerable similarity between the two planets in size, mass, density, composition, and gravity. In such a situation, we can get much important information related to the development of life on Earth.
