  2. Summary of Reference Mission Technology Needs Challenge: All reference missions have to survive and operate in extreme temperature, pressure, and radiation environments.

  3. Venus Dynamics Explorer Objective: Obtain Measurements to explain the general circulation of the Venus atmosphere • The cloud-level atmosphere (~70 km) rotates about 60 times faster than the planet’s slowly-rotating surface (4 days vs 242 day period) • The mechanisms responsible for this superrotation have evaded theoretical explanation for >30 years

  4. Venus Dynamics Explorer Approach: Long-lived balloons and Orbiter • Network of 12 to 24 long-lived balloons • Deployed between the surface and cloud tops at 3-4 latitudes (equatorial, mid, high) • Time resolved measurements over ~1 week • Discriminates eddies from mean flow • VLBI tracking, p, T, solar/thermal radiation • Orbiter • Required for communications/ tracking • UV and Near IR imaging spectrometers for tracking the upper, middle, and lower clouds S- and/or X-band radio science package to retrieve density profile at 34 km and 100 km
