The Venus orbiter mission is a proposed orbiter to Venus by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to study the atmosphere of Venus.[2][3] If funded, it would be launched in 2017 or 2018.[citation needed]

Jacques Blamont, an astrophysicist, has offered to provide the Indian Space Research Organisation with gigantic balloons carrying several instruments designed to deploy in and out of the extremely hot atmosphere of the planet after being unfettered from the orbiter.[4]

Since July 2015 there has been no news of decisions or progress on any Indian missions to Venus.[5]
