Venus Experss are about to plunge into the Venusian atmosphere

After nearly 9 years of monitoring Venus from orbit, the European Space Research Agency's (ESA) Venus Express probe is about to plunge directly into the Venusian atmosphere within the next two months.

ESA said that the mission of this unmanned spacecraft is about to end because its propellant has dropped to very low levels. Therefore, ESA decided that Venus Express would go straight to Venus's atmosphere as a "deadly force".

Gizmag magazine said, Venus Express carries seven scientific instruments to delve into the ionosphere, atmosphere and Venus surface. It was launched on November 9, 2005 at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan by the Soyuz-Fregat rocket and after a year Venus Express approached the orbit in an elliptical shape around Venus.

During the execution of the mission, Venus Express provided new insights into the nature of Venus's atmosphere, planetary rotation, and data about its magnetic field. Another important thing is the ability to create tectonic activity on some geology that some scientists think is just a dead planet.

Venus Express will be from 165km altitude above the atmosphere to reach 130km and may be deeper for the aerobraking mission that ESA is expected to implement on June 18 to July 11. ESA is also not sure if the probe could exist for a few more months, because the final forecast is that Venus Express will be burned in Venus's atmosphere.
