Akatsuki Dawn also known as the Venus Climate Orbiter VCO and Planet-C is a Japanese space probe tasked to study the atmosphere of Venus.It was launched aboard an H-IIA 202 rocket on 20 May 2010 and failed to enter orbit around Venus on 6 December 2010.

The mission complements the European Space Agency s ESA Venus Express which orbited Venus until 2014. The solar arrays provide over 700 W of power in Venus orbit.
