[P-PS04] Advancing the science of Venus in the golden age of exploration

Wed. May 24, 2023 9:00 AM - 10:15 AM Exhibition Hall Special Setting (3) (Exhibition Hall 8, Makuhari Messe)

convener:Takehiko Satoh(Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), George HASHIMOTO(Department of Earth Sciences, Okayama University), Moa Persson(Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Kashiwa, Japan), Kevin McGouldrick(University of Colorado Boulder), Chairperson:George HASHIMOTO(Department of Earth Sciences, Okayama University), Takao Sato(Hokkaido Information University)



Exploration of Venus in the 21st century was opened by two missions, polar-orbiting Venus Express (ESA, 2006 - 2014) and equatorial-orbiting Akatsuki (JAXA, 2015 to current). These two have advanced our knowledge mostly about the Venusian atmosphere (dynamics, chemistry and evolution). The upcoming 3 Venus missions, NASA's VERITAS and DAVINCI, and ESA's EnVision are more focused on the geology, interior and evolution of the
solid planet, Venus. There may be more to come, such as Chinese VOICE, Indian Shukurayaan, Russian Venera-D, and even from a private company. We are and will certainly be in a new golden age of the Venus exploration! This session will therefore cover all aspects of science related to Venus, from its interior to the surrounding plasma environment, either by observationally or by theoretically. Implications to the exoplanets are also important objectives of studies of Venus. Contributions by all levels, from early-career researchers to experts, are all welcome.
