What sent images of Uranus back to earth?
The only images of the surface of Venus were taken by the Soviet Venera probes, the ones built to survive the intense heat and pressure. The atmospheric pressure is equal to sitting a kilometer under the surface of the ocean, and the temperature is like an incinerator (700-800 degrees). Also, the atmosphere is corrosive: the clouds are composed mainly of sulfuric acid.The NASA probes on the Venus Express mission also penetrated the atmosphere but did not provide any images. The Venus Express orbiter, as well as the Magellanorbiter, provided detailed radar images of the planet.
