The First and Only Photos From Venus - What Did We See? (4K)

Only four spacecraft have ever returned photographs from the surface of Venus. Our neighbouring planet doesn’t make it easy, below the clouds blistering heat and crushing pressures quickly destroy most landers. But, in 1975 and 1982, 4 of the Soviet Union’s Venera probes captured our only photos of Venus’ surface. The Venera landers scanned the surface back and forth to create panoramic images of their surroundings. They revealed yellow skies and cracked, desolate landscapes that were both alien and familiar, views of a world that may have once been like Earth before experiencing catastrophic climate change. Here are the only photos we have of the surface of Venus.

    It’s Engineers who made them. Scientist are mostly interested in collecting data and studying it, they don’t really care about building probes. They’ll specify exactly what they want to achieve, and Engineers will build and manufacture it. Science and Engineering are close siblings, from the same parents, but slightly different. One comes before the other.

Whereas Scientists tend to work on problems that are way out there in the distant future, and often not practical at all. The two fields are more complementary to each other, with Engineering being a little brother of Science. I don't want to be a Scientist at all. That will bore me to death.

    One of them even took an audio recording of the surface. You could hear some ambient noises from the actual surface of venus while the probe drilled into the rock for its tasks. I find when combined with audio, it becomes much more real to me and I feel like I can almost picture myself standing on the surface. If you like this stuff I highly recommend searching it up, it's on YT.

    The Soviet Union never got the credit they deserve for getting photos from the Planets surface back in 82. The heat and pressure on Venus's surface doomed any probes chance of survival and the fact that they were able to land and take such stunning photo's on that planets surface should be applauded. We see Mars and a lot of people take those photo's for granted. But as great as an achievement all of the rovers on Mars are and were. These photo's dwarf those in every way.

    These landers, which were launched in the 1970s and 1980s, scanned the surface back and forth to create panoramic images of their surroundings. The images they captured revealed a stark and desolate landscape, with a reddish-orange hue and a surface covered in rocks and boulders. In addition to the panoramic images, the Venera landers also captured close-up images of the surface, showing individual rocks and other features in more detail. Some of these features included what appeared to be wind-swept plains and regions of rough, jagged terrain. The images also revealed the yellow skies of Venus, which are a result of the thick layer of clouds that blankets the planet. The clouds are primarily composed of sulfuric acid, and they obscure the surface from view in visible light. However, the Venera landers were equipped with instruments that allowed them to see through the clouds and capture images of the surface. Overall, the images captured by the Venera landers provided valuable insights into the geology and surface features of Venus, and continue to be studied by scientists today. They are a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the scientists and engineers who designed and launched these missions, and to the incredible technological achievements of the Soviet space program.

    The Venera program was an incredible achievement and all about innovation, learning from experience and hard, precise work. NASA's probes (like Mariner 5)did help by collecting data from orbit; the new upcoming probes also benefit from both Venera and the Magellan Venus Radar Mapper. Magellan was a spacecraft designed by JPL in Pasadena and equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radar, designed and built by Hughes Aircraft Company's Space and Communications Group (I played a role on the procurement side). In 1989, Magellan mapped 99% of Venus' surface in great detail. (Today, that Hughes unit, along with Radar Systems Group, belongs to Boeing Defense, Space and Security.)

    Yes, the study of other planets in our solar system, such as Venus, can provide important insights into the unique characteristics and conditions that make Earth habitable. By understanding how the planets formed and evolved, as well as the factors that influence their atmospheres and climates, we can gain a better appreciation for the fragility and complexity of our own planet. At the same time, studying other planets can also help us identify potential threats to Earth, such as asteroids or comets that could collide with our planet and cause catastrophic damage. By understanding the nature and behavior of these objects, we can develop strategies for protecting our planet and mitigating the risks of these types of events. Ultimately, the study of other planets and the exploration of space are important not only for expanding our scientific knowledge, but also for helping us appreciate the unique beauty and value of our own planet, and for inspiring us to work together to protect and preserve it for future generations.

    One very interesting thing about the probes is that they didnt really need a parachute, the air is so thick (90 atmospheres) the craft would simply slow down on its own as if it was falling through peanut butter. There was a parachute to slow it down high in the atmosphere but it was cut at a height of 50KM (!!!) to maximize the amount of time it spent alive on the surface and built to survive the impact at its very slow terminal velocity.

    The lense cap, as you can see in the photos, is a large two-part metal shield... Looks a few inches thick. It is a huge chunk of metal that needs to be able to withstand bring hit by a planet sized blow torch through corrosive toxic air thick with little sandblasting particles, before landing in an oven.... And then the thing that survived that needs to pop neatly open and fall off. It's a shame, but honestly, it's a testament to society engineering that it worked at all. At that time, we didn't know all this about Venus.... It was mostly a mystery beneath the clouds. *THESE* are the the probes that answered the question. Looking at the surface... It's not likely the other side saw much.

    That’s what makes the ‘space race’ a bit of a joke. The Soviets did pretty much everything first except that one thing. First satellite, first woman in space, second woman in space, first space walk, first lunar probe, first, second… seventh Venus lander. No doubt they paid the price in human lives but they did almost everything first nonetheless.

    Not only were we not beat but the Soviets never stood a chance of landing a Cosmonaut on the Moon. Which is why we did it in the first place. BTW we've always been far ahead of anyone else in aerospace technology.

They did previously land on the moon remotely, and they drove a buggy on the moon remotely, and then took off again and brought samples back to earth, so they landed on the moon first technically, and brought samples back first, they just did it without humans. Which is kinda even more impressive tbh, to have robotics at that level back then.

    You raise an important point about the historical context in which the Venera missions took place. During the Cold War era, the Soviet Union and the United States were engaged in a competition for space exploration and technological advancement. This competition had political and ideological implications, and it led to a great deal of secrecy and propaganda on both sides. In the case of the Venera missions, the Soviet Union was able to achieve a number of significant firsts, including the first soft landing on another planet and the first photographs of the surface of Venus. However, these achievements were largely unknown in the United States at the time, due to the political climate and the lack of communication between the two nations. Today, we are able to look back on the Venera missions with a greater appreciation for their scientific and technological achievements, and for the valuable insights they provided into the geology and surface features of Venus. The images and data collected by the Venera probes continue to be studied by scientists today, and they represent an important legacy in the history of space exploration.
