Err…stops scurvy on the way to Venus, or perhaps wrong thread.

Great website.

I’ve always had a high regard for the aerobraking techniques used by the Russians for the Venus landings.

In addition, the findings from the Venera probes have never been surpassed.

This remains an unmatched achievement. There have been no landers on Venus since 1982.

Akatsuki is still in orbit.

There’s been a proposed Russian mission, Venera-D, suggested for launch no sooner than 2026, that includes a lander. So far the Russian (as distinct from Soviet) space program has not had a single successful mission beyond Earth: Mars 96 failed, Fobos-Grunt failed. The Russians have a lander, Kazachok, that will be sent to Mars in 2022 as part of a joint project with the ESA. They’ll also be attempting a lunar mission (Luna 25) next year, landing at the south pole area.

Shukrayaan-1 is a proposed Indian mission that would use a balloon in Venus’s atmosphere, similar to those used in the Vega program, aimed for launch in 2023.
