Theme I: Potential Landing Sites : for this theme we are seeking community input on the criteria for scientifically desirable landing sites for the Venera-D lander which could be accessible from the approach trajectory, given the known engineering constraints; and the criteria for synergies between the lander and other potential landing elements—such as multiple small stations for weather, surface boundary chemistry and dynamics, and/or seismic studies. The primary sessions exploring these topics will be held during 2-3 October (additional splinters may occur a day later). Science priorities for the landed elements of the Venera-D mission are: surface morphology, mineralogy, aeolian processes, surface-atmosphere chemical and dynamical interactions, elemental abundances of rocks, seismology, and electrostatic charging processes Theme II: Cloud Layer Habitability: for this theme we are seeking community input on the key altitudes, latitudes, methods and suitable platform options for completing habitability studies, such as aerial platforms. We are also interested in input regarding measurements that may be made from the Venera-D baseline elements that can answer key or ancillary questions in support of the study of Venus’ habitability present and past. The habitability sessions will be held 4-5 October (preliminary splinters may occur a day earlier) The driving science questions for these discussions are: How has habitability at Venus evolved over time? ·What are the tracers of past or current habitability? ·How has the evolution of climate impacted Venus' habitability? What species can survive/thrive in the clouds of Venus? ·How do we know, what should we look for? Where may life at Venus have come from? ·If it migrated from the surface to cloud—what are the tracers, what should we look for, where should we look for it? ·If it was delivered to Venus?—what are the tracers, what should we look for?
