Scientific paper
The Venus Climate Orbiter mission (PLANET-C), one of the future planetary missions of Japan, aims at understanding the atmospheric circulation of Venus. Meteorological information will be obtained by globally mapping clouds and minor constituents successively with 4 cameras at ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, detecting lightning with a high-speed imager, and observing the vertical structure of the atmosphere with radio science technique. The equatorial elongated orbit with westward revolution fits the observation of the movement and temporal variation of the atmosphere which rotates westward. The systematic, continuous imaging observations will provide us with an unprecedented large dataset of the Venusian atmospheric dynamics. Planet-C will be launched in 2010 and will reach Venus in 5 months. Nominal operation period is 2 earth years. It is now under the final integration test at ISAS/JAXA in Sagamihara, which started in June 2009. We will report the final status of the spacecraft before the launch.
