Venus: Space Missions

Scientific paper

The Venus Express project began with the fortunate inheritance of a set of spare spacecraft units and an industrial setup from the Mars Express mission, as it was clear that this second "Express" mission would only be possible both financially and schedule-wise if new developments were kept to a minimum. Likewise for the payload, the strong legacy from Rosetta and Mars Express in terms of the scientific instruments was equally essential for mission success. Another critical factor was strict adherence to the spacecraft Assembly, Integration and Test campaign schedule, to ensure that the fixed launch window would be met.
