Since the Venus mission is slated for launch in March 2028, it will utilise existing vehicles, specifically the Launch Vehicle Mark-3. Discussing the challenges of the Venus mission, the ISRO chief highlighted, “Though we went to Mars, which is a little far away earlier, Venus is closer, but it is more challenging than Mars. Because the atmosphere of Venus has 100 times more pressure than that of Earth.” The upcoming Venus mission will be India’s second interplanetary venture, following the successful Mars Orbiter Mission launched on November 5, 2013, which entered Martian orbit on September 24, 2014.
