18 hours to Venus Orbit Insertion...

Check the ESA webcast schedules if you want to watch the mission control reaction.

By tomorrow, we should have groovy new images and data if all goes well. But a bit like MRO, the orbital aerobraking and adjustment will take a few months to refine to the optimum for data gathering... tomorrow may be one of our few chances to see the full disc before a lower orbit puts us too close for the big picture view.

All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.
