== Akatsuki instruments ==


* Goals: Akatsuki is designed to study Venus' climate using ultraviolet and infrared cameras. The spacecraft will follow orbit Venus following the westware rotation of the atmosphere, mapping the circulation and vertical structure of the planet's thick clouds. The mission will complement the ESA's Venus Express, which also explores the Venusian environment with different approaches.
