After sending missions to the Moon and Mars, the ISRO is now readying a spacecraft to orbit Venus to study what lies below the surface of the solar system's hottest planet, and also unravel the mysteries under the Sulfuric Acid clouds enveloping it.
Addressing a day-long meeting on Venusian science, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman S. Somnath said the Venus mission has been conceived, a project report made and "money identified".
He urged scientists to focus on high-impact outcomes.
