Exploring Venus with Tethered Balloon Systems
In recent times, there has been a growing interest in exploring Venus, the second planet from the Sun, notable for its extreme atmospheric conditions. This article delves into the innovative plans being proposed for exploring the surface of Venus using a tethered balloon system, a concept known as the Tethered Observatory for Balloon-based Imaging and Atmospheric Sampling (TOBIAS). This initiative is supported by NASA's Institute of Advanced Concepts Phase I program and aims to overcome the challenging environmental conditions of Venus.
