Abstract

VERITAS is a NASA Discoveryclass mission set to launch in 2031. VERITAS’ state-ofthe-art instrumentation includes an interferometric SAR, an emissivity mapper, and a gravity science investigation [1-4]. The mission will provide foundational datasets to understand the evolution and past and present geological and geophysical processes on Venus. In August of 2023, VERITAS science team members performed a two-week field campaign in Iceland to gather data to characterize and calibrate VERITAS instruments [5-10]. We report here on the volume and quality of the surface topography dataset, discuss the data reduction strategy, and provide a first look at the final dataset, associated analyses, and derived products that will be made publicly available to the scientific community.
