Abstract:Several chemicals which could be relevant for life processes are found in the upper atmosphere of Venus (H2S, OCS, SO2, NH4Cl, NH2COOHN4 and H2O). Moreover, the atmosphere instability and the reason for the high ultraviolet (UV) heterogeneous absorption between 320 and 400 nm in the top cloud layer and mesosphere (~ 40-70 Km) are still disputed phenomena. These scientific points could be further studied by small UV Raman and fluorescence instruments mounted in a small lander platform (< 20 kg) being send to Ve… Show more
