The Indian Venusian orbiter mission is a proposed orbiter to Venus by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to study the atmosphere of Venus.[2][3][4] If funded, it would be launched between 2017 and 2020.[2]

Jacques Blamont, an astrophysicist, has offered to provide the Indian Space Research Organisation with gigantic balloons carrying several instruments designed to deploy in and out of the extremely hot atmosphere of the planet after being unfettered from the orbiter.[5]
