Venus Orbiter Mission
India’s Venus Orbiter Mission (VOM), also known as Shukrayaan-1, is an ISRO-led planned orbiter to investigate Venus’s surface and subsurface—including topography, geology, and resurfacing—along with atmospheric structure and dynamics, clouds and aerosols, airglow, lightning, the ionosphere, and solar-wind interactions. It will provide broad, uniform coverage of Venus and demonstrate aerobraking and advanced thermal-management technologies.
