Unravelling the drivers of Venusian ionospheric structure, energy balance and evolution, through in-situ plasma measurements at Venus

This white paper outlines a scientific investigation that would be addressed via a Venus orbiter accompanied by a smaller solar EUV and solar wind monitor spacecraft, using existing technology. We are advocating for a future comprehensive Venus plasma mission, and highlight how such a mission would advance key science goals identified by the VEXAG.
