Venus express arrived at Venus in April 2006, and thus celebrates its 6 years in orbit anniversary just before the EGU GA 2012. A wealth of information on our neighbor planet has been gathered during this period on topics spanning from the planetary surface, the atmosphere, to the plasma environment. This session will be open for presentations on results and analysis of data both from space and from ground based observatories, as well as for new theories and measurement approaches and new missions ideas.
