  1. [Focus on the #EnVision mission] Why have #Venus and Earth evolved so differently? This is the question to be answered by the EnVision #SpaceMission of the European Space Agency - ESA, scheduled for launch in 2031.

    To this end, the European #probe will carry several instruments - including an imaging #spectrometer, to which IRAP staff are contributing. Observations will be made in the UV and IR domains, in order to monitor temporal variations in #surface temperature and gas concentrations within the #atmosphere - and thus gain a better understanding of interactions between the Venusian atmosphere and surface.

  2. [Focus sur la mission #EnVision] Pourquoi #Vénus et la Terre ont-elles évolué si différemment ? Telle est la question à laquelle devra répondre la #MissionSpatiale EnVision de l' European Space Agency - ESA dont le lancement est prévu pour 2031.

    A cet effet, la #sonde européenne embarquera plusieurs instruments - un #spectromètre imageur notamment, auquel contribuent les personnels de l'IRAP. Des #observations seront effectuées dans les domaines UV et IR afin de suivre les variations temporelles de la température de #surface et des concentrations de gaz au sein de l'#atmosphère - et donc, de mieux comprendre les interactions entre l'atmosphère et la surface vénusiennes.

  3. [#EnVision: en route to #Venus 👍] On Tuesday, the European Space Agency - ESA awarded Thales Alenia Space a contract to build the EnVision probe destined for Venus. The onboard instruments will study the #planet's inner core, mantle and atmosphere, as well as their interactions, with unrivalled precision. Objective: to understand a planet's evolution towards #habitability - or uninhabitability.
