A conceptual architecture for retrieval of a sample of the surface of Venus is proposed. The mission concept incorporates a high-temperature aircraft to retrieve the sample from the surface and raise it into the upper atmosphere, a balloon-borne platform to produce fuel from the carbon dioxide atmosphere of Venus, and a launch vehicle to bring the sample into Venus orbit, where it is retrieved by an Earth-return vehicle.
