Press Release  
No.33-07, Paris, 20 November 2007

ESA to present the latest Venus Express results to the media

How has our knowledge of Venus evolved since ESAÂ’s Venus Express  
spacecraft has been observing EarthÂ’s twin? To answer this question  
and to present fresh new results concerning our cryptic neighbour, the  
European Space Agency is inviting the media to attend a press  
conference to be held at ESA Headquarters in Paris on 28 November.

The launch of Venus Express back in November 2005 represented a major  
milestone in the exploration of Venus Â— a planet unvisited by any  
dedicated spacecraft since the early 1990s.

One of the fundamental questions being addressed by the Venus Express  
mission is why a world so similar to Earth in mass and size has  
evolved so differently, to become the noxious and inhospitable planet  
it is today.

Since it started its scientific observations in July 2006, Venus  
Express has been making the most detailed study of the planetÂ’s thick  
and complex atmosphere to date.

The latest findings not only highlight the features that make Venus  
unique in the solar system but also provide fresh clues as to how the  
planet is Â— despite everything Â— a more Earth-like planetary neighbour  
than one could have imagined.

The results will appear in a special section of the 29 November issue  
of the journal Nature containing nine individual papers devoted to  
Venus Express science activities.

Media organisations interested in attending the press conference are  
invited to register via the form attached below. Media that cannot  
attend will have the opportunity to follow the press conference via  
the following phone line: +33 1 58 99 57 42 (listening-mode only).
