Summary of VIRTIS observations
· Data volume at orbit 500 : > 150 Gigabytes · First level analysis : routinely achieved.
­ Measurements of physical quantities (winds, Tsurf, etc.) ­ First papers submitted ­ First data set delivered ESA (Planetary Science Archive)

· Second level objectives : just beginning
­ ­ ­ ­ General circulation : dynamics and composition Radiative balance Survey of potential surface variability (volcanoes) Systematic survey of emissions by CO2 et O2 and modeling

· Next mission to come : Venus Climate Orbiter (JAXA), VESPER (NASA) ? , in situ mission ??
