Venus Origins Explorer (VOX) is a concept orbiter mission to Venus.[1] The mission concept was proposed in 2017 to NASA's New Frontiers program to compete for funding and development. NASA will select several proposals for additional concept studies by November 2017, select a winner in the competition in 2019, then launch it in 2024.[2][3][4]
Overview
Although the Announcement of Opportunity called for a Venus lander, the VOX scientific team are proposing an orbiter with a payload capable of achieving the required objectives.[1] The VOX proposing team explain: "At the time of the Decadal Survey the ability to map mineralogy from orbit and present-day radar techniques to detect active [surface] deformation were not fully appreciated. VOX leverages these methods and in-situ noble gases to answer [the key] New Frontiers science objectives."[1] The VOX mission concept would deploy a small, simple atmospheric probe to measure the key gases and isotopes. The rest of the measurements would be made from instruments on an orbiter.[1]
