It will take 112 days to reach the near-Venus orbit of the automatic interplanetary station (AMS). It is planned to launch the mission on an LVM-3 rocket. If Shukrayaan-1 is launched on March 29, 2028, then the near-Venerian orbit of the AMS will reach July 19.
In September, SpaceNews reported that India plans to launch the Venus Orbiter Mission (VOM) to Venus in March 2028. The aim of the AMS, which should enter near-Venerian orbit, will be to study the atmosphere, geology and evolution of the planet. The mission's budget is $149 million, of which 99 million is the cost of the AMC itself, reports lenta.ru.
In May, TASS, citing the head of the Indian Space Research Organization, Sridhar Panicker Somnath, reported that Delhi planned to send AMS to Venus in 2024.
