To reach Venus and carry out its missions, an important maneuver called atmospheric braking will be used.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, NASA and the European Space Agency have planned to carry out missions to Venus. The necessary information to carry out these missions is also obtained with the help of two Envision missions related to the European Space Agency and Veritas related to NASA. A new method of atmospheric braking will be used in the Venus exploration mission.
Spacecrafts are launched by burning fuel. In general, the launch weight of a rocket is equal to money. More fuel in the spacecraft will make the launch more expensive. That’s why researchers are looking for new solutions to reduce the speed of the spacecraft. In the new method, instead of burning fuel, the spacecraft uses the atmosphere to visit places in the upper upper edge of the atmosphere. As the spacecraft approaches the upper edge of the atmosphere, it is placed there and its speed decreases due to friction.
Atmospheric braking has already been used to send spacecraft to Mars and will now be used in future missions as well. Previous spacecraft such as Magellan and Venus Express also used this method. Currently, Envision and Veritas will also use this method. During the Venus mission, this spacecraft is supposed to plunge into the atmosphere a thousand times in a period of 15 months to two years and move to another orbit again. Of course, this issue will only be practical with proper planning. In this method, it will be temperature, density and wind speed. Of course, these cases are all different from each other in the parts of Venus.
