Venus Express To Launch November 9

In today's Space Industry, no launch is a sure thing until it's over. So, when I say the Venus Express spacecraft is scheduled for launch Nov. 9, it means, tentatively, right?
Postponed once, the European Space Agency ship will eventually study Venus' atmosphere and magnetic field, helping unlock the mystery of why it's so darn hot.

Beyond that, it will simply expand our understanding of the worlds around us.
