 |  Venus’ atmosphere observed –“ SCIAMACHY on Envisat looks elsewhere
 17 July 2009
Scientists at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and the Netherlands Institute for Space Research (SRON) have found a new area of deployment for the SCIAMACHY (SCanning Imaging Absorption SpectroMeter for Atmospheric CHartographY) atmospheric instrument on the European environmental satellite Envisat. In March and June 2009, the spectrometer, in a research activity initiated by the DLR Remote Sensing Technology Institute and SRON, looked away from its normal target, Earth, towards our neighbouring inner planet Venus and investigated its radiation at visible light and near-infrared wavelengths.
