It has been almost three decades since the Soviet Union last sent a probe to the planet Venus, now the Russian space agency is planning to undertake a new mission there and has invited Western scientists to participate.
Densely clouded in acid-laden mist, Venus used to be the Soviet Union's favourite target for planetary exploration. Now, after a lull of almost three decades, Russia is making plans for a new mission to the "morning star" and has invited Western scientists to participate.

the venera landers for their time were top notch macines and a few of them lasted as long as 15 minutes before being crushed under the imense gravity and burned up in the intense heat, I think that nowadays they could do much much more with more sophisticated machines that would take the elements of venus for a good long while, Hope im around to see that day,
