Neutron | NZSA Venus Mission
Rocket Lab | United States of AmericaWallops Flight Facility, Virginia, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
NZSA Venus Mission is a small direct Venus entry probe with a single 1 kg low-mass, low-cost autofluorescing nephelometer riding on a satellite bus based on the Photon Upper stage of the Electron rocket. The probe mission will spend approximately 5 minutes in the Venus cloud layers, 48-60 km above the surface, collecting in situ measurements to search for organic molecules in cloud particles and constrain particle composition.
