En los pr\u00f3ximos meses, si miras hacia el oeste tras una puesta de sol sin nubes, no podr\u00e1s dejar de ver una brillante \u201cestrella vespertina\u00bb. Pero ese deslumbrante espect\u00e1culo no es una estrella. Se trata del planeta Venus, el destino de la \u00faltima misi\u00f3n europea al espacio profundo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Volando a 250 y 66.000 km sobre sus polos, la nave pasar\u00e1 dos a\u00f1os venusianos (500 d\u00edas terrestres) investigando la gruesa capa de nubes y la atm\u00f3sfera del planeta m\u00e1s cercano a la Tierra.<\/p>\n

La nave espacial, que volar\u00e1 a una altura de entre 250 y 66 000 km por encima de los polos de Venus, dedicar\u00e1 dos a\u00f1os venusianos (500 d\u00edas terrestres) a estudiar la densa capa de nubes y la atm\u00f3sfera del planeta m\u00e1s cercano a la Tierra.<\/p>\n

\u00bfCu\u00e1l es la temperatura y la composici\u00f3n de la atm\u00f3sfera?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Se han enviado m\u00e1s de 20 naves espaciales rusas y estadounidenses para explorar el segundo planeta desde el Sol, pero a\u00fan quedan muchos misterios por resolver:<\/p>\n

    Los siete instrumentos cient\u00edficos a bordo de la Venus Express intentar\u00e1n desentra\u00f1ar estos misterios.<\/p>\n

    Como lo sugiere su nombre, Venus Express se dise\u00f1\u00f3 y construy\u00f3 en s\u00f3lo tres a\u00f1os \u2013 un plazo muy corto para una nave planetaria. De forma similar a Mars Express de la ESA, la nave se ha adaptado para soportar las altas temperaturas y radiaciones de Venus. La mayor\u00eda de los instrumentos se basan en elementos desarrollados para las misiones Mars Express y Rosetta.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
