Hyperspectral Observer for Venus Reconnaissance (HOVER) is a proposed Venus orbiter for remote sensing of its clouds, chemistry, dynamics and surface.[1] The main goal of the mission is research of Venus' climate. The mission is designed by LASP, University of Colorado, SwRI, and the University of Koln.[2]
Main questions the mission would be able to answer are:[2]
- How do convection and chemistry produce the global clouds?
- Where and how is solar energy deposited?
- How is energy transported by largescale circulation?
- What does Venus climate tell us about past climates?
- How is Venus current climate impacted by current volcanism?
