[NIAC 2025] Our Best Venus Map Is 36 Years Old. NASA Wants to Fix it With Balloons
Published 1Â year, 5Â months ago
Description
Venus has a thick layer of clouds that obscures our view of the surface. To tackle that, this NIAC project suggests launching a balloon with a tether that will go below the cloud layer and help us image Venus surface.
