Venus Express
Summary
From The European Space Operation Center - Darmstadt, Germany, a tiny space craft called Venus Express went hurdling towards Venus at 18,000 (MPH). Venus express was to spend two years in space while sending back images and data to Earth. venus is roughly the same size as earth and was formed almost at the same time as well as with the same stuff, in the same region of the solar system. so, it is like our sister planet. But under the veil of its dense opaque cloud, the details of venus are truly astounding and astonishingly different. Even though it is our closest planet, it has sprung up the highest number of mysteries than any other planet in our solar system. The journey of Venus Express is one of the most amazing journeys ever heard of in the history of space exploration.
