Abstract
Venus is considered to be Earth’s sister planet hence we can learn a lot about Earth by investigating Venus tectonics, volcanism, and atmosphere. As opposed to Mars which lost most of its atmosphere but retained a lot of water, Venus has extremely dense and hot, carbon dioxide atmosphere (95 % CO2, >90 atm pressure, and ~480 °C temperature) and lost most of its water. One day Earth could end up looking just like Venus or Mars. Mars has been mapped by multitudes of spacecraft and we learn more about that planet each year. In comparison, understanding of Venus is relatively poor. The science objectives for Venus exploration are expressed in various reports by the Venus Exploration Analysis Group (Vexag 2014).
