Both NASA’s VERITAS [1] and ESAs EnVision missions to Venus incorporate a Venus Emissivity Mapper (VEM) [2,3] to characterise the surface and distinguish rock types and potentially their alteration states. Due to Venus visibly opaque atmosphere direct observations of the surface are challenging, how...
