Invitation to submit abstracts for AGU 2024:

Dear Venus science colleagues,

We are very pleased to invite you to submit an abstract to the following AGU 2024 Fall meeting session: 

AGU session P042 - Venus in the Next Decade

Recently NASA and ESA selected a fleet of three international missions to study Venus. Since then, the EnVision mission was officially adopted by ESA in January 2024 to proceed into implementation, and all three missions are currently expected to launch no earlier than 2031. Many fundamental questions remain regarding Venus. These questions will begin to be addressed by the VERITAS, DAVINCI, and EnVision missions, in addition to the proposed ISRO orbiter mission Shukrayyan-1 and possibly others being considered by different space agencies. The session will address how these new missions will allow us to better understand Venus’ early evolution and past and present habitability.

For this session, we invite mission scientists and others to discuss the goals and objectives and how their research will aid in the interpretation of the data from this array of spacecraft.

Please submit your abstract here:

https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prelim.cgi/Session/230155

Abstracts are due 31 July 2024, 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT.

With kind regards,

Mitch Schulte, Siddharth Krishnamoorthy, Nicholas P. Lang, Michael Way, Diana Gentry and Anne Grete Straume
