The second Venus flyby of BepiColombo mission reveals stable

Index

Abstract

This paper presents mid-infrared spectral measurements of the Venusian atmosphere during the second flyby of the BepiColombo mission. Using the Mercury Radiometer and Thermal Infrared Spectrometer (MERTIS), the researchers retrieved mesospheric temperature profiles and cloud parameters between 60 and 75 km altitude. The results show good agreement with Venera-15 mission findings from 1983, indicating the stability of the Venusian atmosphere over decades.
