In this work we discuss various selected mission concepts addressing Venus evolution
through time. More specifically, we address investigations and payload instrument concepts …

More than three decades have passed since the publication of the last review of the Venus
clouds and hazes. The paper published in 1983 in the Venus book summarized the …

The lower cloud layer of Venus (47.5–50.5 km) is an exceptional target for exploration due to
the favorable conditions for microbial life, including moderate temperatures and pressures …

A general circulation model (GCM) has been developed for the Venus atmosphere, from the
surface up to 100 km altitude, based on the GCM developed for Earth at our laboratory. Key …

We present here three-dimensional simulations of the Venus photochemistry and clouds
from the ground to the bottom of the thermosphere. For that purpose, we have implemented …

Recent simulations have indicated that vinyl cyanide is the best candidate molecule for the
formation of cell membranes/vesicle structures in Titan's hydrocarbon-rich lakes and seas …

This work reviews possible signatures and potential detectability of present-day volcanically
emitted material in the atmosphere of Venus. We first discuss the expected composition of …

The dual spacecraft mission BepiColombo is the first joint mission between the European
Space Agency (ESA) and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to explore …

Spatially-resolved near-infrared spectra from the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging
Spectrometer (VIRTIS) on Venus Express have been used to derive improved models of the …

Thermal structure and cloud features in the atmosphere of Venus are investigated using
spectroscopic nightside measurements recorded by the Visible and InfraRed Thermal …
