The craft would require a LOT of insulation and very efficient cooling, as the temperature on its surface is about 800 degrees.
The craft would also need to carry enough fuel (of some kind) to be able to lift off from Venus and reach escape velocity. This would be much more difficult than lifting off from, say, the surface of the Moon, because the Venusian total force of gravity is many times more than the Moon's

If you were to design a spacecraft capable of landing on venus what might it require?
If you were in charge of the space program what would your priorities be? why?
How long will it take to get a spacecraft to venus?
Current space probes use various orbital paths to reach Venus, taking from 1 to 3 years. Manned missions such as the Apollo trip to the Moon would require 1 to 3 months at a minimum, to reach the planet's orbit. At the maximum velocity of any current spacecraft, a direct flight would require between 30 and 120 days, depending on Venus's position in its orbit. _____________________ The time required, of course, depends on the speed. IF we had a spacecraft capable of accelerating at one gravity continuously, (accelerate halfway, then decelerate the other half) we could get to Venus in about 3 days. Of course, if wishes were horses, then beggars could ride. There is no such spacecraft, nor do we have even a vague idea of how to design one.

Which of the planets did American spacecraft visit first mars or venus?
venus was the first planet visited by the American spacecraft
What planet is the only one on which unmanned spacecraft have successfully landed and explored?
Mars.!!! However, spacecraft have landed on Venus, but the atmosphere on Venus is such that spacecraft are crushed/collpase. So no exploration has been done on Venus.
Can even the most powerful telescopes see through Venus' clouds?
Optical telescopes can't penetrate the clouds of Venus, but data have been collected from the surface and from the atmosphere below the clouds with radar, radio telescopes, and landing spacecraft.
Has a spacecraft visited venus?
Yes
Is spacecraft able to land in Venus'?
spacecraft can land on Venus but they melt, it's 400oC,, probes have been sent there but they were destroyed by the heat after a while
A spacecraft that landed on mars in the 1970s?
venus
