论文摘要
这是一份白皮书,提交给行星科学和天体生物学十年调查。金星的深层气氛在很大程度上没有探索,但可能会为主要的硅酸盐行星提供进化途径的线索,并在太阳系及其他地区产生影响。需要原位数据来解决与金星的进化和现状有关的重大开放问题,包括金星可能的早期居住性和当前火山屋的问题。在接下来的十年(2030年之前)可以实施深层气氛“基于探测”的原位任务,并可以在Venus上揭示基本问题的答案,并帮助将金星与天线化的类似物联系起来。
This is a white paper submitted to the Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey. The deep atmosphere of Venus is largely unexplored and yet may harbor clues to the evolutionary pathways for a major silicate planet with implications across the solar system and beyond. In situ data is needed to resolve significant open questions related to the evolution and present-state of Venus, including questions of Venus' possibly early habitability and current volcanic outgassing. Deep atmosphere "probe-based" in situ missions carrying analytical suites of instruments are now implementable in the upcoming decade (before 2030), and will both reveal answers to fundamental questions on Venus and help connect Venus to exoplanet analogs to be observed in the JWST era of astrophysics.
