"ESA's Ambitious Venus Mission and Space-Based Gravitational Wave Detector Set to Launch"

The European Space Agency has officially adopted the EnVision mission to Venus, aiming to launch the spacecraft by 2031 to study the planet's upper atmosphere, surface, and core. Venus, often described as Earth's evil twin, presents numerous mysteries due to its extreme conditions and stark differences from our planet. EnVision's comprehensive approach to studying Venus as a system will provide unprecedented insights into its evolution and geology, including the search for active volcanism. This ambitious mission follows a prolonged lull in Venusian exploration and represents a significant step towards unraveling the planet's enigmatic nature.
