Abstract

We evaluated the potential dangers associated with landing in the tesserae on the dayside and methods by which to mitigate these for an example lander largely based on the 2020 Venus Flagship Mission Concept Study. The greatest hazards we identified are: the degrading effects of the atmosphere on imagery and LIDAR data of the surface, unknown and variable wind speeds, and unknown slopes and surface roughness.
