What the Venera Probes on Venus Look Like Today – 43 Years Later

Описание: 43 years ago, two robotic pioneers, Venera 13 and Venera 14, landed on the hellish surface of Venus. Designed to withstand pressures that could crush steel, temperatures that melt lead, and an atmosphere saturated with corrosive acid, these Soviet probes revealed Venus like never before. But after more than four decades on the most hostile planet in our solar system… what do the Venera landers look like today?

In this video, we explore the final resting places of Venera 13 and 14, analyse the materials they were built from, and uncover how the probes have weathered 43 years of unimaginable heat, pressure, and chemical erosion. What remains? How much has survived? And could future missions find them?
