: Numerical modeling work in 2022 proposed updated chemical compositions and interior structure models, suggesting the planet's core and mantle interactions might be more Earth-like than previously thought. 4. Mission Strategy & Navigation

: A 2022 study utilized a specialized Venus-ESD chamber to simulate lightning in the cloud layer, successfully characterizing 15 types of free radicals and excited atoms that could exist in the Venusian atmosphere.

Understanding whether Venus is currently volcanically active was a central theme for 2022 geologic papers.

2022 marked the beginning of a "new era" for Venus exploration following the selection of several upcoming missions.
