Venus Orbiter Mission

Venus Orbiter Mission Unofficially known as Shukrayaan (from Sanskrit: Shukra, "Venus" and yāna, "craft, vehicle"), is a planned Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) mission to study the surface and atmosphere of Venus.

Expected Date of Launch The ISRO Chairman has announced that Venus Mission will be launched by December 2024.

It will also try to decipher the complex interplay between solar energy and Venus, shedding light on how this energy affects the charged particle layer enveloping the planet.

The orbiter is poised to carry a expected to have a formidable payload capability of approximately 100 kilograms (220 lb) with 500 W available power.
