#PhotoOfTheDay: The Surface of #Venus from #Venera14

Pictured is the view from Venera 14, a robotic Soviet lander which parachuted and air-braked down through the thick Venusian atmosphere in March of 1982. The desolate landscape it saw included flat rocks, vast empty terrain, and a featureless sky above Phoebe Regio near Venus' equator.

#Venera 14 was a #Soviet space probe that successfully landed on the surface of Venus on March 5, 1982. It was part of the Venera program, which sent a series of probes to explore the planet.

Designed to operate in Venus's hostile environment, the lander survived for 57 minutes—25 minutes longer than its mission plan.
