Ice? Salt? or Pressure?
We found evidence of groundwater in the ancient Stimson desert sandstones, potentially extending #habitability window on #Mars, but what state was the water in? @MarsCuriosity @ESEImperial @spacegovuk @geosociety

Day 3 @ #LPSC = Venus Day (part1) 🌋 😎 After the talks, why not jump into Gather Town at 6pm to check out the posters of my brilliant proto-Venusians: posters #1182 (Gerard Gallardo i Peres) and #1244 (Nikol Davidova) #venusexploration

Such great news at last.
Go VERITAS and #venus 🚀🌋(and @envisionvenus and #DAVINCI too, of course)

[Sue Smrekar @SueSmrekar]

VERITAS is back in the budget!! 🚀❤️ The project will get going full swing this fall (FY25). We’re looking at a 31 launch (TBC). Thanks to everyone who’s supported our return to Venus!! It’s going to be fabulous 😍

Day1 @ #LPSC2024 and plenty of excitement (and stickers). Great news for VERITAS at long last. #venus #venusexploration

[Venus Exploration Analysis Group (VEXAG) @unveilvenus]

Happy first day of LPSC! Come find these stickers #venusscavengerhunt

[Dr. Anna Gülcher @PlanetaryAnna]

Hi #LPSC24 friends! Excited to present and discuss #Venus science/missions, but also thrilled to be learning and discussing other planets! Don’t be a stranger and say hello 😊🚀🌋✨ #conference #Houston #NASA @NASAJPL @unveilvenus @envisionvenus

[Thomas Widemann @WidemannThomas]

Ever wanted to dive deep into the #EnVisionMission and all its details?

Then have a look at the EnVision Study Definition Report, also known as the Redbook.

This 175-page comprehensive document has just been published with the EnVision adoption by @esa.

[Europlanet 🇪🇺 @europlanetmedia]

Congratulations to @envisionvenus mission team on the mission’s official adoption by @esa's Science Programme Committee. EnVision will study Venus from its inner core to its outer atmosphere, giving important new insight into the planet's history, geological activity and climate.

I love this. Following on from ⁦@ThePlanetaryGuy⁩ earlier, here is mine. Wasn’t quite sure what would come up

[Jonathan Amos @JCDAmos]

BOOM! 🚨 @Esa's Science Programme Committee has "adopted" both the #Lisa and #Envision missions. They are green-lit. They will happen. We're going to hunt gravitational waves in space and also visit Venus. Stupendous news.

[Thomas Widemann @WidemannThomas]

[EnvisionVenus @envisionvenus]

It’s official, I have been adopted! Time to celebrate!

[Dr. Jörn Helbert @Planetguy_Bln]

Best news to close the @envisionvenus VenSpec suite meeting at @MPSGoettingen !

We're excited to announce that our PhD researcher Gerard Gallardo is taking part in the development of #SAR products to detect changes on the surface of the planet, that will be used on @esa's @envisionvenus mission. 🛰️
