Scene №1 Cosmonautics. Venus beckons
Venus has always interested Earth scientists.
Two planets, two sisters, the same in many ways - the same density, the same size, composition, the same amount of energy received from the Sun, however, the planets are completely different.
Earth is habitable, and Venus has truly hellish conditions.
In total, 27 probes were launched from Earth to her, 19 of which were manufactured by the Lavochkin NGO, and each such mission brought more questions than answers.
And now, after a long break, Venus is back in the center of scientific attention.
Russia plans to resume exploration of the planet using the Venus-D spacecraft with a lander.
The future mission to the Morning Star requires new design solutions.
According to the plan of the creators of Venus-D, natural phenomena will be studied at three levels - from orbit, in the atmosphere and on the surface of the planet.
