Could someone please tell me the details, if any, of any web sites devoted
to the results of tests, photos etc of the Venus probe.

Thanks

Thank you very much, just what I wanted.

Also, does anyone know how soon we can expect to see images once Venus
Express is in orbit?

Thanks

ESA is stating that full spaceraft activation will take place over
today and tomorrow, so my guess would be some time after that -
friday, perhaps.

I'll have an ask and see if I can find out more.

There is a programme on Venus by AH Davis on BBC 2 at 7 pm tonight,
repeated at 11:50 pm.

It's quarter past 7 and I am sitting here wondering why I thought the
programme would be worth watching.

This thing should have been on at 5 O'clock with Blue Peter.

It's a pity the 'insulation' on the space suit was so good!
