It is also equipped to measure the density and temperature of the Venusian atmosphere, investigate the wake left by Venus as it plows through the solar wind, and provide new data on the mass and precise location of the planet...
Collision Course. Icarus itself is quite real. Unlike most asteroids, which circle the sun in planetlike orbits between Mars and Jupiter, Icarus has a highly elliptical orbit.
