NASA researchers prepare for a mission to Venus. Using the probe, scientists plan to determine how similar the planet was in the past to Earth.

A special set of instruments, including a new spectrometer, will help you study the atmosphere. The list of tasks will include the measurement of the chemical composition, temperature indicators, pressure, etc. Along the way, images of the planet will be made in the infrared spectrum. The estimated flight time of the probe is 60 minutes.

The task of the instruments on the probe is to absorb atmospheric gases. And while doing analysis and providing information. Scientists hope to find similarities with the Earth's atmosphere.

The data that will be obtained during the mission will help answer many questions. How did the planet form and change, did the oceans exist on it, why did Venus become so hot and when did it happen?

Let us recall that the atmosphere of Venus has a denser structure in comparison with the Earth. It is also much hotter - the temperature at the average surface level can reach 467 ° C, and the pressure is about 93 bar. Clouds in the atmosphere of Venus are distinguished by their density, they include sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid.

The instruments for studying the atmosphere will be located inside the reentry sphere, which is protected from the extreme climatic influences of Venus.
