“…Interest in Venus has recently increased due to the recent putative discovery of phosphine (PH 3 ) in the Venusian atmosphere that is associated, on Earth, almost exclusively with biological processes (Greaves et al., 2020). This discovery coincides with, and may energize, new proposed missions to Venus including two NASA Discovery‐class missions recently selected or more detailed study (https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-selects-four-possible-missions-to-study-the-secrets-of-the-solar-system), and the Roscomos Venera‐D orbiter plus lander (Ivanov et al., 2017).…”

The exploration of the surface geology of Venus has been hampered by its inhospitable conditions and thick and opaque atmosphere. Fundamental properties, such as crustal composition and heterogeneity remain poorly constrained. Multiple analytical techniques are required to better understand its geology. A spectroscopy‐based laboratory study of the emissivity properties of Venus‐relevant igneous rocks, measured at 440°C by Dyar, Helbert, Maturilli, et al. (2020; https://doi.org/10.1029/2020GL090497) shows that the use of multiple atmospheric windows in the 1‐µm region can provide strong constraints on the FeO content of Venus‐relevant igneous rocks, and by extension, the type of igneous rock. These results will help improve our ability to map the surface geology of Venus remotely.

“…Nowadays, Venusian landing missions are planned based on the analysis of ballistic reachability regions for specific launch dates; the reachability regions are put on maps of terrain priority types, which intensively use the available morphological and geological data ( Fig. 3, [5,6]). The reachability regions are shown by grey and white circles in this figure.…”

Secure methods of the cost-effective flights to Venus and the passage of its gravity sphere are necessary to increase the amount of scientific and service equipment on board spacecraft and effectively exploration of the solar system. The results of the modern methods of ballistics design using for interplanetary flights to Venus are given with the purpose of entering the Venusian satellite orbit and for the landing on its surface. The main attention devotes to the construction of the launch windows and to the calculation of the reachability areas of the descent vehicle on the surface of Venus.

In this work we discuss various selected mission concepts addressing Venus evolution through time. More specifically, we address investigations and payload instrument concepts supporting scientific goals and open questions presented in the companion articles of this volume. Also included are their related investigations (observations & modeling) and discussion of which measurements and future data products are needed to better constrain Venus’ atmosphere, climate, surface, interior and habitability evolution through time. A new fleet of Venus missions has been selected, and new mission concepts will continue to be considered for future selections. Missions under development include radar-equipped ESA-led EnVision M5 orbiter mission (European Space Agency 2021), NASA-JPL’s VERITAS orbiter mission (Smrekar et al. 2022a), NASA-GSFC’s DAVINCI entry probe/flyby mission (Garvin et al. 2022a). The data acquired with the VERITAS, DAVINCI, and EnVision from the end of this decade will fundamentally improve our understanding of the planet’s long term history, current activity and evolutionary path. We further describe future mission concepts and measurements beyond the current framework of selected missions, as well as the synergies between these mission concepts, ground-based and space-based observatories and facilities, laboratory measurements, and future algorithmic or modeling activities that pave the way for the development of a Venus program that extends into the 2040s (Wilson et al. 2022).
