The Venus Emissivity Mapper – Obtaining Global Mineralogy of Venus from Orbit on the ESA EnVision and NASA VERITAS missions to Venus.

Highlights

  • The Venus Emissivity Mapper – Obtaining Global Mineralogy of Venus from Orbit on the ESA EnVision and NASA VERITAS missions to Venus

  • The Venus Emissivity Mapper is the first flight instrument designed to focus on mapping the surface of Venus using several atmospheric windows around 1 μm

  • An existing laboratory prototype has verified an achievable instrument SNR of well above 1000, as well as predicted error in retrieval of relative emissivity of better than 1%, assuming the availability of improved Venus topography

The Venus Emissivity Mapper – Obtaining Global Mineralogy of Venus from Orbit on the ESA EnVision and NASA VERITAS missions to Venus. Introduction: The Venus Emissivity Mapper is the first flight instrument designed to focus on mapping the surface of Venus using several atmospheric windows around 1 μm. An existing laboratory prototype has verified an achievable instrument SNR of well above 1000, as well as predicted error in retrieval of relative emissivity of better than 1%, assuming the availability of improved Venus topography.
