EuroVenusians at COSPAR 2014
NEWER
OLDER
August 09th, 2014
August saw many EuroVenusians attending the COSPAR (Committee on Space Research) Scientific Assembly in Moscow. This is an important forum for international discussion of space science and exploration.
The following list (which may not be complete!) shows presentations authored or coauthored by EuroVenus consortium members on the subjects of Venus science and exploration:
• A dynamic atmosphere revealed by the Venus Express mission
• A new view of Earth's sister: Insights following nine years of Venus Express observations
• Analysis of Venus Express optical extinction due to aerosols in the upper haze of Venus
• Analysis of Venus Express optical extinction due to aerosols in the upper haze of Venus
• CO density distribution in the lower thermosphere of Venus as a tracer of the thermospheric dynamics
• Composition of the Venus mesosphere: a synthesis of SOIR/VEX observations
• Compositional variability of the Venusian atmosphere above the clouds: sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide
• Contribution of SPICAV/Venus Express experiment to the VIRA model update
• Contribution of the SOIR/VEX instrument to the VIRA update model
• Future Exploration of Venus: Opportunities and Challenges
• International Collaboration for Venus Exploration
