from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Venus (radar mosaic)

The list of man-made objects on Venus includes objects that were brought from the earth to the surface of Venus . It does not contain any smaller items such as parachutes or heat shields.

While devices with a total mass of around 22 tons have been brought to Venus so far, nothing has been brought to Earth from Venus. The roughly three times the mass of objects that landed on Mars is due to the pressure of 92 bar on the surface of Venus, which requires a very solid construction of the probes. Due to the high temperatures of around 450 ° C, the previous probes only remained functional for a few hours.

The next Venus mission with Lander will not start before the year 2025 with Venera-D from Roskosmos ( Russia ) Template: future / in 5 years.

The objects are numbered according to the order of their impact or their landing.

January 17, 2017, accessed on November 17, 2017 (English): “It's still too early to know exactly what Venera-D will look like, what it will do or when the mission will launch. A liftoff in 2025 or 2026 is possible under an "aggressive" time line, Senske said. "It depends when the Russians can get this into their federal space budget," he said. "
