The planet Venus is again at the center of a stunning announcement made by scientists, and this is because we are talking about an important decision that will have an impact on all of humanity. More precisely, after multiple failed attempts by scientists to discover possible signs of life on the planet Venus, now two spaceships are going to fly over the planet several times.
The planet Venus is the closest to the Earth, but also one of the hottest, scientists having problems analyzing it carefully, but it seems that things are starting to change anyway. The first spacecraft is called BepiColombo, it was sent by the Japanese to explore Mars, and the second one is called Solar Orbiter, it was made as part of a collaboration between ESA and NASA, but both will end up in opposite parts of the orbit near the planet Venus .
Planet Venus: STUNNING Premiere Announced for Mankind
The planet Venus will be flown by both spaceships as part of the missions they carry out in outer space, and here we are talking about a first for all of humanity. The planet Venus has never been flown by two spacecraft at the same time, so it has never been seen what both areas of the planet look like in real time, so scientists could have extremely interesting surprises with this flyby.
“The Solar Orbiter spacecraft will make numerous gravity assist flybys of Venus to bring it closer to the Sun and tilt its orbit to observe our star from different perspectives. The Solar Orbiter's path around the Sun was chosen to be "in resonance" with Venus, meaning it will return to the vicinity of the planet every few orbits and can again use the planet's gravity to alter or tilt its orbit. Initially, the Solar Orbiter will be confined to the same plane as the planets, but each Venus encounter will increase its orbital inclination. The BepiColombo spacecraft makes nine gravity assist maneuvers (one of Earth, two of Venus and six of Mercury) before entering orbit around the innermost planet of the solar system. BepiColombo is an international collaboration between ESA and JAXA.”
The planet Venus will be visited by spacecraft on August 9 and 10, Solar Orbiter will fly at an altitude of 8000 kilometers, while BepiColombo will descend to an altitude of 600 kilometers. Both spacecraft will record images of the planet Venus as part of their flybys, even if their missions were to take them to completely different areas of the solar system, so everything that happens is very important.
The planet Venus is flown by these two spaceships because both use the gravity of the cosmic body to get closer to the sun, or to Mercury.
