The area company is eyeing the December 2024 window for its launch with orbital maneuvers deliberate for the next yr when earth and Venus can be so aligned that the spacecraft might be put within the neighbouring planet’s orbit utilizing a minimal quantity of propellant.

After sending missions to the Moon and Mars, the ISRO is now readying a spacecraft to orbit Venus to examine what lies under the floor of the photo voltaic system’s hottest planet, and likewise unravel the mysteries beneath the Sulfuric Acid clouds enveloping it.
Addressing a day-long assembly on Venusian science, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman S. Somnath mentioned the Venus mission has been conceived, a venture report made and “money identified”.
He urged scientists to deal with high-impact outcomes.
“Building and putting a mission on Venus is possible for India in a very short space of time as the capability today exists with India,” Mr. Somnath mentioned in his inaugural deal with.

The subsequent comparable window can be accessible in 2031.
Mr. Somnath cautioned in opposition to repeating experiments performed by earlier missions to the Venus and deal with distinctive high-impact outcomes as have been achieved by Chandrayaan-I and Mars Orbiter Mission.
Among the experiments deliberate embrace an investigation of the floor processes and shallow sub-surface stratigraphy, together with energetic volcanic hotspots and lava flows, learning the construction, composition, and dynamics of the environment, and investigation of photo voltaic wind interplay with the Venusian Ionosphere.
