Shukrayaan-1: ISRO;s Ambitious Mission to Explore the Mysteries of Venus

Shukrayaan, a significant venture under the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), represents a pioneering mission aiming to explore the planet Venus. Designed as part of the Venus Orbiter Mission, Shukrayaan's primary objective is to conduct a comprehensive study of Venus's various facets, including its surface, atmosphere, geological composition, and interactions with space elements like solar wind. What day does Shukrayaan-1 launch? Prior to the pandemic, the launch of ISRO Venus Orbiter Mission, Shukrayaan I, was planned for mid-2023. S. Somanath, the chairman of ISRO, did, however, reveal in May 2022 that the mission is scheduled to launch in December 2024, with an additional launch window in 2031.  NASA has voiced concerns over Venusian life's feasibility right now. The potential of bacteria thriving in Venus' upper atmosphere, where the pressure is closer to that of Earth's surface, hasn't been completely ruled out by scientists, though. What are the goals of the Shukrayaan-1 mission? The primary objective of the mission is to perform an extensive study of Venus. In addition to exploring Venus's structure, dynamics, and geological makeup, it looks at the planet's surface and atmosphere.  Regardless of the day, night, or weather, the Shukrayaan 1 approach will be able to produce high-resolution photographs.  The Venus Orbiter Mission will examine shallow underlying stratigraphy and surface processes.  The interaction of the solar wind with Venus's ionosphere, emissions, cloud cover, volcanic activity, and other planetary features will all be investigated by this mission.  Recognizing the importance: The study of exoplanet habitats and the evolution of planets similar to Earth will benefit from Shukrayaan 1.  It will serve as a warning about how rapidly a planet's climate may alter and be helpful for recreating Earth's climate. “Not only is the Universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.” – Sir Arthur Eddington, The Nature of the Physical World (1927)
