ISRO pushing Venus mission ‘Shukrayaan’ to 2031?

The Hindu  

January 16, 2023 10:42 am | Updated January 17, 2023 07:53 am IST - Chennai In a talk on January 9, P. Sreekumar, the Satish Dhawan Professor at the Indian Space Research Organisation and advisor to its space science programme, said that the organisation is yet to receive approval from the Indian government for the Venus mission and that the mission could as a result be postponed to 2031. ISRO’s Venus mission, called Shukrayaan I, was expected to be launched in December 2024. Sreekumar, speaking at an Indo-French astronomy meeting at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru, said that Shukrayaan I was “originally scheduled for a 2023 launch” but that “right now the 2031 window is very good”. According to him, both the U.S. and the European space agencies have Venus missions planned for 2031 — referring to VERITAS and EnVision, respectively — while “China might go anytime: 2026, 2027, whenever they want to go”.
