Scientists from the U.S. , Germany , Italy , and Iceland camped and worked long hours to study the surface roughness and other properties of rocks in Iceland .
The VERITAS mission will rely on a state-of-the-art synthetic aperture radar to create 3D global maps and a near-infrared spectrometer to distinguish between the major rock types on Venus 's surface.
The mission will launch within a decade to survey the planet's surface from orbit.
It will also help the European Space Agency's EnVision mission, which will study Venus 's surface with S-band radar, and the community at large that wants to understand radar observations of volcanic planetary surfaces." But the value of the two-week Iceland campaign went beyond science, providing a team-building opportunity that will resonate for years to come, said Nunes . "It was a great dynamic," he added. "We pushed hard and helped each other out. From borrowing gear to driving to the study sites and buying supplies, everyone hustled to make it happen." Provided by NASA .
