Education and Public Outreach Opportunities

The European Space Agency (ESA)'s Venus Express Mission (VEX) has launched the first spacecraft to Venus since the 1986 Magellan encounter. In cooperation with the U.S. Scientific Team, Education and Public Outreach (E/PO) activities will complement ESA's Public Outreach efforts.

The Primary Goal of our joint E/PO program is to share the excitement of the new Venus data, images, and animations with the public. The various programs will compare Venus' atmospheric evolution with that of Earth. New Venus flyby data will also be returned by the MESSENGER Mission to Mercury, due to fly by Venus in June of 2007.
