Robotic Exploration of Venus

[MrToiletface]

shitty fag music ruins this vid. techno is for homos

[aykayem]

... cool! - a fun animation to watch while bopping to that wonderful music! LOL

[Neueregel]

This can't work. It's too hot there

[DrNothing23]

@Neueregel Too bad you don't work for NASA, as they could sure use some scientific and insightful minds like yours... You should apply! This realization that they've obviously so far missed alone would save them many millions of dollars! REALLY... APPLY. Do yourself, NASA and the United States of America a favor!

[Neueregel]

@DrNothing23 Sorry to disappoint you mate, but as a European, NASA is not my thing.If they wanna spend billions it's their issue. But I already applied to ESA recently after my M.Sc., having my interview pending next month.500 Celcius is not fun, every kid knows that.NASA scientists should do the same and invest more in ambitious missions like Mars Terraforming for resource extraction.Venus surface probes never lasted more than 2.5 hours so there's no point bothering with the Venerian hell.

[UndeadPizzaGuy]

@Neueregel Not your thing? I'm sorry, but what was ESA's sad attempt at a Martian landing? Beagle 2. Maybe when ESA can establish even a landing of any sort, you can start talking down to NASA about not allocating more resources to Mars. Maybe when ESA launches a multi-billion dollar mission like Curiosity, your point will have more credence, whereas it has absolutely none now.

[Neueregel]

@UndeadPizzaGuy Don't wanna make this into a rivalry, but what about the abandonment NASA ISS launches after 30 years? You can't even launch LEO missions from your home country regularly now. Instead,you send astronauts from Russian ground. NASA's budget is totally shrinking. I call this a huge regress, defeat and disappointment of the american space program and U.S. space vision. Get yourselves together, before judging ESA which is a relatively new coalition with no as many expectations as NASA

[Gorilder]

Hey did they ever pull this off or is it in the makings or was it just scrubed

[Vlakpage]

@Gorilder There are few missions planned, one from each agency ESA, NASA, Roscosmos but there is not much info about them, could be cancelled due to budget restrictions or something. I really hope we will see lander, flyer or even rover in this decade, can't wait. Venus is closer than Mars and even more interesting and not so well explored, there should be definitely more missions to it. Search exploration of Venus in Wikipedia, the projects are mentioned there.

[philquinton]

yeah right that parachute would be frazzled

[gulfland]

DEAR VIEWERS,

FOR ASTONISHING FACTS, JUST TYPE ON THE SEARCHING BOX:

Quran and Science

SEVEN PARTS! YOU MUST LIKE THEM

[jimmy212145]

Venus apparently has lightning storms 24 hours a day ... or what ever hours of day Venus has.

[spiritneverdie1]

i hope this new mission to venus have a lot of time to explore this coolest planet, venus you´re rhe solar system's god !

[dylanandromyshow00]

does anyone know what the song is called?..lol

[club4ghz]

that robots would melt on venus

[America100000able]

I don't agree with what people are saying that Venus should be left out of exploration. Venus had an ocean 400 million years ago, and would be a viable planet to do some research on due to the fact it did have an ocean until the sun evaporated it away.

[Romirin]

красиво конечно, но непрактично !

[MrAndersohn]

@Romirin Почему непрактично? Согласно последним исследованиям на ранней Венере должен был быть океан, а времени на развитие жизни на ней было больше, чем на Марсе. Отправив туда ровер, мы бы смогли узнать больше про прошлое этой планеты...

[Romirin]

@MrAndersohn Непрактично по 2 причинам

1. для того что бы летать в атмосфере с давлением выше чем на земле.. даже при 90 атмосферах - вы посчитайте какое должно быть крыло и т.д.

2. смысл такого затяжного полета ? лучше пусть луну освоят и научатся без сбоев выводить автоматические станции на нужные траектории ! а так это можно расценивать как развлекательное видео !

[MrAndersohn]

@Romirin Ну, на счет "вено-планера" - полностью с вами согласен, а вот ровер - вещь практичная , сколько открытий для науки сделали марсианские роверы (всех не перечесть), почему бы не послать ровер на Венеру? Пусть посверлит, покопает , проанализирует - может найдет неопровержимые доказательства существования океана и жизни на древней Венере - все это изменит не только науку, но и наше мировоззрение...

[swampzoid]

wondermous

[Armigo91]

Vegeta... what does the scouter say about the pressure in centibar?

IT'S over 9000!!!!!!

[TomKennyIsLovely]

Venus is my favourite planet. We think it's so close, but it's not... The universe is vast.

[abradras]

no no ,,,go Europa moon and dig for alien fish which lives there :)

[Axgoodofdunemaul]

@abradras I agree! Venus is unlikely to have anything as interesting as Europa and Titan. Let's spend our money on that! I feel similarly about Mars.

[abradras]

@Axgoodofdunemaul well i believe venus exploration is sponsored by companies which are interested in mining materials there ..imagine full automatic harvesters harvesting metals and who know what else 24h a day ..we could make more and cheaper cars !! for example ^^

[kingklooneyville]

this is awesome. I hope this happens in my life time.

[ToomuchBTUstoday]

Save a few rovers for Mercury :)

[tarbacam]

what s the name of this song?

[knutfheifer]

Thats good to know, only thing is, they are here already! must have had early tip off's?, never mind, they are having a coffee and a biscuit while I put my coat on, I need to finish my playdoe castle before they load me into the van, would you like a hickey?

[mycuriousmind]

very naive movie.

in ussr we build much more heavy devices and they could not survive even for a few hours...

[soar313]

its wierd how the rover is, it seems like the legs of the rover would be crush because they look so weak and thin

[Deathencounter]

that would be the day when NASA would build a robot to explore the oceans of Europa (Jupiters moon)

[daro2096]

The soviet probes barely lasted a few minutes on the surface. In fact we only have seven surface photographs of Venus.

The probes America plan to send will last around one day on the surface.

[knutfheifer]

@daro2096 Then why didn't america do it? at least russia got seven photos rather than none, and tell me why america spent millions developing a pen that writes under zero gravity, when russia took pencils! it seems to me that america appears to be smart to the point of total stupidity, rant over

[daro2096]

@knutfheifer

Point?

[knutfheifer]

@daro2096 Point is, america is STUPID, period!

[daro2096]

@knutfheifer

Well I hope you are not American then.

[knutfheifer]

@daro2096 gladlyno, america invented a pen that could write in zero gravity, costing millions in the 70s to design, russia took a pencil lol, I am not from there either but think of better ways to explore space;-()

[knutfheifer]

@daro2096 also, this is why we eat at buck rogers and cakey moon with our toes

[daro2096]

@knutfheifer

Ermm right. Let me just call the men in white suits.

[knutfheifer]

@daro2096 ok thankyou, could you pleae help me with my pelvic pill?

[daro2096]

@knutfheifer

Do it yourself!

[knutfheifer]

@daro2096 Also while I am on the subject! How dare you talk about art garfunkel in that sort of way, I ask your reasons for it! I demand it now! quick! quick! answer me! you lose

[daro2096]

@knutfheifer

What are you talking about fool?

[knutfheifer]

@daro2096 Hey! don't call me a fool, you butterboy, you need to stand back, relax and realise that this isn't just your world, it's mine too and I need air as well, why don't you go for a massage or a sauna with a nice blonde hot girl and have a chocolate ice cream afterwards, you will feel great! look, Im not going to beat around the bush, sit down and have a beer, I will buy you one yes? and when done, you can go for a walk at the seaside and watch the sun go down kentucky style

[daro2096]

@knutfheifer

I am just keeping you distracted while the looney men come for you.

[knutfheifer]

@daro2096 conkers is the answer you muppet of bartholemewness, why don't you go and butter some crumpets with tea mcmuffins with a good old chheseburger on the side with chocolate mumps

[ZombieCobain]

O Morning Star! O Lucifer!

[hispanicuscorpus]

what are the using to cool the eletronic,? armonia, liquid nitrogen,, it would be ease to put a couple of rocket onto a asteroid with million of gallon of water and cratch into venus, it hopefully the temperature will cool down,,,,Ceres is a good choice.

[TheBoomViper]

A rover on the surface will have to be made of pretty hard metal to survive the horrendous surface conditions.

A strong metal, for instance: titanium, or tungsten - although they both are quite expensive. Still, I'm sure those guys at NASA will figure it out!

[TheNarlyBones]

it would have to be silicone based as the atmosphere is mainly acid

[Andybucker]

They will eventually figure this out.

[TheBoomViper]

@Andybucker

IMO, they probably have, long ago! ;)

[1968DodgePolara]

well at least the gravity will be like earth like a 100 lbs man will be like 98 on vesus but the air pressure will crush him and the acid would melt him o well it will never be first man on venus anytime soon maybe in 200 years from now have to make a space suit too protect him from that kind of elements not to mention the heat

[eechistyakova]

1:39-2:40

[TheCottonTop]

"The Morning Star!"

I love when I can see her.

[stefan4o1995]

Ahhh....I love the planet Venus....its beautiful planet....also I love the music.

[kostas6667]

song / music title?

[ALAKD3LTA221]

The Venera 13 lander surviveed only 127 minutes,while the Venera 14 survived only 57 minutes.The probes would probably still rests on the surface as of today...

[refresh967]

FUCK! this is venus we are talking about.That parachute should have been crushed by the atmosphere.

[bombarderoazul]

I liked the solar powered airplane, but I think the rover won't do so well on the surface, not even the most advanced russian probes lasted only about 1.5 hours on the surface before being crushed by the extreme pressure, also the temperature on the surface is over 800 degrees fahrenheit.

[wainstead]

They weren't crushed, they just overheated and the electronics were fried. The probes were built out of titanium to survive the heat and acid. (Titanium's melting point is twice that of Venus's surface temperature). The idea being studied to cool the rovers is to use a Stirling cooler (based on the Stirling engine concept) to keep the internal electronics down to about 200C (392F). Apparently NASA scientists believe they can build electronics that work at that temperature.

[bombarderoazul]

Interesting, I think I read somewhere that wind on venus surface is very slow, however because the armosphere is so dense the slow wind is capable of moving huge boulders with relative ease, a rover on the surface would have a hard time moving through the surface.

[sedativechunk]

Good point. Let's not forget that we also have better ways of cooling computer devices now.

[1andrewman1]

@wainstead wtf stirling is a city

[flamesholder]

@1andrewman1 He talks about and engine using the Stirling cycle. The first recommended reading is Wikipedia, then you can follow the references.

[America100000able]

@1andrewman1

And Stirling is a cooling system also.

[UnitedMartialArtsKY]

@wainstead That will be awesome if they pull it off.

[Glennfalconi]

@wainstead Nice. But what about the parachutes? How on earth... I mean venus will they survive?

[bordincus]

@wainstead I am very interested about geology and rocks from the surface of Venus.

At the temperatures and atmospheric pressure from the Surface of Venus many minerals that are rare on earth because are found deep in Earth's crust, perhaps there may be on the surface of Venus( minerals like diamond for example)

[DrBrazil1]

Get a life.

[stefan4o1995]

ahhhhhhh,beautiful planet....But too hot....

[FuckCumInHeaven]

This is fake again. They said they can't penetrate it's atmosphere and their probe just disappears.

[HAL11000]

Good, you can tell it's an animation. Darn, you have a good eye! ...And who in told you that they can't penetrate the atmosphere? There have been many successful landings by the USSR, and one unintended landing by the U.S. with the Pioneer Venus Mission.

You can enter "Venera" or "Pioneer Venus" on wikipedia for more info.

[HAL11000]

Repellant? Like the stuff that keeps the mosquitos away? No, silly, there aren't any bugs in space, and mosquito repellant would make a terrible rocket fuel anyway.

Before going into detail, are you willing to learn how this achievement was done?

Are you able to change your views?

If you want to clear up that fog of skepticism, just tell me.

Because I don't like to waste my time typing to morons.

[darkalligator]

Venera VIII, Greetings on its 37 anniversary

On March 27, 1972, the Soviet Union launched Venera 8. This was the second successful landing on Venus and the first on the day side of the planet.

[wildalienplanet]

sending probes to Venus is an excellent challenge. i hope the russians or NASA will consider Venus again as a future destination, who knows what one day what we will find more about this illusive planet :)

[DrBrazil1]

I recommend looking at the VEXAG website, it has many mission concepts relating to Venusian Exploration.

Although, the Analysis Group said the Rover idea was, "Not selected: short traverse ranks it below the recommended floor."

[wildalienplanet]

thanks pal for the recommended site :) i'll check it out :)

[messimorocks]

NUBS,GEEKS,FUKEN BASTARDS

[aircanada797]

Venus is my favourite planet, screw the mars rovers, go to Venus for a change!

[XmegaPresident]

That would be a dream of mine! Venus is a beautiful planet, but deadly..

[CPunk1703]

that plane thing would take such luck to work

[HAL11000]

The engineering challenges of building a working Venusian airplane would be nothing compared to building a rover that can tolerate temperatures up to 500ºC and pressures about 92 times that at Earth's surface and survive for at least 90 days.
