A familiar kshhhh? Or perhaps something more otherworldly, a rumble that shook the thick Venusian air below? In either case, the timing had to be perfect. I want to know how the compressed helium in your canisters sounded as it rushed into your room-size balloons. The lander continued to drift downward, toward the hellish surface below, while your balloons inflated and floated away. As your descent modules plummeted toward the surface, they split into two parts: a lander and a balloon package.
#The forgotten tiny planet series#
A series of parachutes slowed your fall and your onboard experiments recorded the presence of different gases in three distinct cloud layers. Thirty-four years ago, you had a rough arrival at our strange sister world Venus, enduring the equivalent of more than 200 times our planet’s gravity as you decelerated into the atmosphere. Your two-part name-Ve-Ga-is a contraction of the Russian words for your dual targets, Venera and Gallei, Venus and Halley’s comet. You were twins, as most interplanetary spacecraft were in those days: a redundancy measure to ensure that at least one of you would complete your task.

You each launched in December 1984, a few months after my birth, your double mission a joint venture between the Soviet Union and eight European countries, including what were then East and West Germany. Find out about the volcanoes that dot Venus's surface, the storms that rage in its atmosphere, and the surprising feature that makes Venus outshine every planet or star in the night sky. Named after the ancient Roman goddess of beauty, Venus is known for its exceptional brightness.
