Both NASA’s VERITAS and ESA’s EnVision missions to Venus incorporate a Venus Emissivity Mapper (VEM) to characterize the surface and distinguish basalt from more felsic rock types. Though Venus’ optically dense atmosphere makes direct observations of the surface challenging, five windows in the CO2...
