The European Space Agency had 2 missions arrive in the recent days at Venus, Solar Orbiter and BepiColombo, together with a Japanese JAXA mission, Akatsuki, see ESA information here https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/ESA_gets_ready_for_double_Venus_flyby .

But Civ-fans can already be far ahead, and explore Venus themself! We have maps for Civ3 and Civ4 of Venus, based on previous scans of the Venus surface. Check them out!

There are also more maps of foreign planets in our downloads section (e.g. Mars), have a look at them too :).
