Abstract
Venus, the closest planet to Earth, is often referred to as Earth's sister planet due to its similar size, mass, and composition. Past robotic missions have revealed a hot, dry climate with a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, characterized by strong winds and clouds. The clouds of Venus are of particular interest because, with mild temperatures and Earth-like pressures between 51 to 62 km of altitude, it is one of the few potentially habitable regions in our solar system. Various mission concepts have been proposed, but what would be optimal to study this atmospheric region in the next decade is a balloon with a suspended science gondola, together referred to as an aerobot.
Given the extreme conditions of the planet and the dynamics of a balloon navigating the atmosphere, detailed models of wind gusts are particularly significant
