NASA’s Incredible Plan For A Base On Venus.

Sci fi and fantasy uniquely transports us to majestic places like Cloud City, and these experiences uncovers and emits our imagination to our coconsciousness. But the thought of transporting to a majestic place for the first time, a place that actually exists, is immensely more powerful! And it’s exciting to know that a floating city amongst the clouds is possible, right here in our solar system, namely in Venus. You might think Venus a terrible destination for a crewed mission let alone a colony, and if you’re considering the surface of Venus, you’re right. The surface of Venus is smoldering 420 degrees Centigrade, hot enough to melt lead, and the atmospheric pressure is a crushing 92 times that of the Earth’s and that would feel as if you almost 1 km under water. But rise to the top of the clouds of Sulfuric Acid, at 50 km above the surface, lies the majestic. Like The Bespin Life Zone, the space above the clouds of Venus, lies an extraordinary oasis of human friendly conditions not found anywhere else in the solar system besides Earth itself. 50 km above the surface the atmospheric pressure is similar to Earth, gravity is a little less than Earth and the temperature is a manageable 70 degrees centigrade. Additionally, there would be as much solar radiation as Canada receives. That’s why NASA’s HAVOC is so fascinating! HAVOC stands for High Altitude Venus Operational Concept, and is a set of missions to Venus. The HAVOC consists of a 5-phase plan that would lead to the eventual permanent settlement of the planet. Phase 1 involves an unmanned robotic mission using a 31-meter-long helium filled airship. The purpose of this phase is to ensure that the vehicle concepts and engineer work as designed. Secondly, the mission would be to learn more about the atmosphere of Venus, and whether there is life on the habitable zone. Phase 2 would consist of 2 astronauts, departing earth and reaching Venus after a 110 day journey. They would spend 30 days in Venus Atmosphere before taking a long 300 day journey back to Earth. It would be truly spectacular. Let’s take a closer look at what it would be like. NASA would launch an Airship Vehicle and it would also launch Transit Vehicle, which would carry the Astronauts to Venus and back to Earth. Here’s the Transit Vehicle as it approaches Venus. It rendezvouses with the Airship vehicle and the two slowly and precisely link together after which the astronauts relocate to the Airship Vehicle. The Airship Vehicle takes a burning decent, travelling over 7,000 km/h into Venus Atmosphere, it deploys its parachute at 69 km and sheds its protective shell at 64 km and the airship begins to inflate with helium. As the vehicle slows, the parachute is cut at 54 km as the ship continues to inflate until its fully inflated at 52 km. Below the 129 meters envelop we see the gondola called the Atmospheric Habitat where the astronauts are located and behind that is the Venus Ascent Vehicle. The crew deploys probes to collect data for scientific studies. They sit comfortably in the Atmospheric Habitat, performing the duties of the mission, amid the dreamlike sea of clouds. Mission control monitor operations and maintain communications from Earth, for the next 30 days, after which the astronauts board the Venus Ascent Vehicle which disengages and propels to Venus orbit. The 2 boosters eventually disengage and the Ascent Habitat travels to the Transport Vehicle which then travels back to Earth. Okay, so phase 3 would be another crewed mission for 30 days on Venus and phase 4 would be a yearlong mission. Then finally, phase 5 would be the permanent settlement of Venus’s atmosphere, Real Cloud Cities! What makes Venus Oasis plane a magnificently suitable site for a Real Cloud City is that the atmosphere consists of thick carbon dioxide, and because of this, the air we breathe made up of nitrogen and oxygen, would be a lifting gas on Venus.
