Europe, the United States, Russia and India have planned Venus exploration missions around 2030, and global Venus exploration is about to reach a new peak. This article systematically reviews the global Venus exploration missions that were launched or have been selected to implement in near future, conducts research on the US Venus exploration roadmap, analyzes the scientific goals, mission platforms, key technologies of Venus exploration, and reveals the characteristics of future Venus exploration missions and progress of long-term scientific and technological strategic planning abroad. By comprehensively analyzing the international Venus exploration trends, it is proposed that China should seize the opportunity to initiate Venus exploration as soon as possible, while strengthening support for scientific goals planning and long-term strategic research, hoping to provide reference for China’s Venus mission research and planning.
