Moscow, August 17 /TASS /. Viral Russian equipment is planned to launch to measure the gas composition of Venus's atmosphere to the second planet from the sun on the Indian Venus Model (“Schorean” is also used). A sample of this device must be carried out for a year, Head of the planets of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Oleg Korudlav.
We have a year left to create viruses, because colleagues from Isro (Indian space research organization – about TASS) want to take a flight sample in March 2027, and we still need to experience it.
According to him, the virus will measure the gas composition and structure of the upper layers of the Venus atmosphere, above the clouds. Venus Express is a similar device in the European apparatus – it is created by colleagues from Belgium, but the origin has gone into our development. They offered a series of big data, but there was something to improve, so we plan to repeat this study at a new level, the scientist added.
In 2028, India plans to launch the Venus Orbiter mission to Venus – it will become the first Indian apparatus to this planet. The scientific tasks of the mission include a surface radar study, a study of the composition of the planet's atmosphere and potential volcanic or seismic activity. The spacecraft will be equipped with many modern devices that will help explore Venus, including Russian virus equipment.
