Hyperspectral Observer for Venus Reconnaissance

{{Short description|Proposed Venus orbiter}}

Hyperspectral Observer for Venus Reconnaissance (HOVER) is a proposed Venus orbiter for remote sensing of its clouds, chemistry, dynamics and surface.{{cite web |title=Ilmuwan Usul NASA Mulai Misi ke Venus|url=https://www.cnnindonesia.com/teknologi/20191024150512-199-442552/ilmuwan-usul-nasa-mulai-misi-ke-venus|date=25 October 2019|access-date=15 December 2021|work=CNN Indonesia|language=id}} The main goal of the mission is research of Venus' climate. The mission is designed by LASP, University of Colorado, SwRI, and the University of Koln.{{cite journal |last1=Esposito |first1=Larry W. |last2=Arney |first2=Giada |last3=Aye |first3=Michael |last4=Brecht |first4=Amanda |last5=Crisp |first5=David |last6=Bullock |first6=Mark |last7=Helbert |first7=Joern |last8=Holsclaw |first8=Greg |last9=Jessup |first9=Kandis Lea |last10=Jones |first10=Andrew |last11=Lee |first11=Yeon Joo |last12=Limaye |first12=Sanjay |last13=Marcq |first13=Emmanuel |last14=McClintock |first14=Bill |last15=McGouldrick |first15=Kevin |last16=Mills |first16=Frank |last17=Navarro |first17=Thomas |last18=Osterloo |first18=Mikki |last19=Parish |first19=Helen |last20=Pätzold |first20=Martin |title=The Hyperspectral Observer for Venus Reconnaissance (HOVER) |journal=Epsc-DPS Joint Meeting 2019 |url=https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2019EPSC...13..340E/abstract#:~:text=The%20Hyperspectral%20Observer%20for%20Venus%20Reconnaissance%20(HOVER)%20is%20a%20Venus,mechanics%20of%20the%20Venus%20climate. |access-date=15 December 2021 |pages=EPSC–DPS2019–340 |date=1 September 2019|volume=2019 |bibcode=2019EPSC...13..340E }} {{PD-notice}}

Main questions the mission would be able to answer are:

1. How do convection and chemistry produce the global clouds?
2. Where and how is solar energy deposited?
3. How is energy transported by largescale circulation?
4. What does Venus climate tell us about past climates?
5. How is Venus current climate impacted by current volcanism?
