Abstract：The international Venus exploration programs and the Venus gravity field models established by the tracking data of international Venus probes are introduced, and then we propose that the SSTHL/SGGDopplerVLBI observation mode should be adopted which is preferable for the future Venus gravity gradiometry mission in China, and the satellite orbital altitude of 50-100 km is an optimal selection.
