Observations of the planet Venus were first made by Babylonian astronomers around 1600 BC and have continued into the present. The exploration of Venus by space probes began shortly after the Space Age, starting with the Soviet probe Venera 1 in 1961. The first successful Venus probe was NASA's Mariner 2, which flew by the planet and confirmed its high surface temperatures. The European Space Agency's Venus Express arrived in orbit around the planet in 2006, and is currently studying its atmosphere and surface characteristics. This book studies observations and explorations of the planet Venus including the Venera12, the Pioneer Venus Project, the Venus Express, and the Venus Entry Probe.
