A MISSION to send a spacecraft into Venus’s “hot, thick” clouds, getting as close as 93 miles from the planet’s surface has been unveiled. The European Space Agency [ESA] is preparing to send the orbital spacecraft to the second planet from the Sun, a difficult feat due to the planet’s intense atmosphere.

Because of this, the agency will need a plan to safely “surf” Venus’ atmosphere without having the spacecraft burn up. ESA is currently in the process of developing an “aerobraking” method, involving the spacecraft slowing down so that it can lower its orbit to just above the planet’s atmosphere. Once it reaches this stage, the spacecraft will try to gain as much information as possible about the planet.
