The success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission has given the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) a huge boost. The Aditya L1 mission, the next one it launched, seemed to be proceeding smoothly. The Aditya L1 spacecraft underwent a Trajectory Correction Maneuver (TCM) on October 6 by ISRO. India's first solar mission, Aditya L1, has just launched.
The Venus Orbiter Mission, also known as the Shukrayaan-l mission, is one of India's planned missions and the country's first mission to Venus.
ISRO director general S Somanath announced last month that preparations for the Venus expedition have been completed, and that work is underway on a number of the payloads.
The Indian Venus mission aims
ISRO hopes to learn more about Venus with this mission. The goal of the mission is to learn as much as possible about the planet by observing its interior and exterior, including its structure, dynamics, and geological composition. The GSLV Mk ll or GSLV Mk lll will be used to launch the mission.
The project will also test how the solar wind interacts with Venus's ionosphere. A surface experiment is also a part of this. Analysis of the atmosphere-surface interaction on Venus will shed light on erosion, weathering, and other geological processes.
Mission to Venus schedule
Originally scheduled for launch in December 2024, speculations have surfaced recently speculating that the mission's launch could be delayed until 2031.
