  abstract  = {Because of the extreme conditions in the atmosphere, Venus has been less explored than for example Mars. Only a few probes have been able to survive on the surface for very short periods in the past and have sent data. The atmosphere is also far from being fully explored. It could even be that building blocks of life can be found in more moderate layers of the planet's atmosphere. It can therefore be assumed that the planet Venus will increasingly become a focus of exploration. One way to collect significantly more data in situ is to build and operate an atmospheric research station over an extended period of time. This could carry out measurements at different positions and at different times and thus significantly expand our knowledge of the planet. In this work, the design of a Venus Research Station floating within the Venusian atmosphere is presented, which is complemented by the design of deployable atmospheric Scouts. The design of these components is done on a conceptual basis.},

  abstract  = {Lightning has fascinated humanity since the beginning of our existence. Different types of lightning like sprites and blue jets were discovered, and many more are theorized. However, it is very likely that these phenomena are not exclusive to our home planet. Venus's dense and active atmosphere is a place where lightning is to be expected. Missions like Venera, Pioneer, and Galileo have carried instruments to measure electromagnetic activity. These measurements have indeed delivered results. However, these results are not clear. They could be explained by other effects like cosmic rays, plasma noise, or spacecraft noise. Furthermore, these lightning seem different from those we know from our home planet. In order to tackle these issues, a different approach to measurement is proposed. When multiple devices in different spacecraft or locations can measure the same atmospheric discharge, most other explanations become increasingly less likely. Thus, the suggested instrument and method of VELEX incorporates multiple spacecraft. With this approach, the question about the existence of lightning on Venus could be settled.},
