20 years ago today, our first mission to Venus was launched 🎉
#VenusExpress gave us a unique global picture of our nearest planetary neighbour and paved the way to #ESAEnvision.

New Paper Published. I am incredibly proud of this one. I agreed to this review when I was the branch chief of research and thought I could get the paper done in about 6 months....then multiple job shifts happened and the paper was submitted just over a year and 6 months after I said yes. (1/4)
