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.

What information was sent back to earth from the mars rover?

The Mars rover sent back various types of information to Earth, including images, soil samples, atmospheric data, and geological data. This data helped scientists better understand the Martian environment, geology, and potential for past life on Mars.


How do space probes send images to earth?

Space probes typically transmit images back to Earth using radio waves. The images are converted into digital data and sent as radio signals to communication antennas on Earth. These antennas then receive the signals and decode them to reconstruct the images for scientists to study.


Were there any known satllites sent to Uranus?

yes, there was a known satellite sent to uranus named Voyager 2 from USA. It encountered more information about Uranus.


What instruments are used to send pictures from outer space to earth?

Instruments like cameras and sensors are used on spacecraft to capture images of outer space. These images are then transmitted back to Earth through radio signals using antennas such as high-gain and low-gain antennas. The data is received by ground stations on Earth, which then process and distribute the images to the relevant organizations for further analysis.


How do you know what is on the hidden side of the moon?

It was never possible until spacecraft were successfully launched, navigated around the moon, captured images while they were on the far side, and sent the images back to earth when they emerged from behind. That never happened until about 50 years ago. The images seen then were new to human eyes.


How many reconnaissance satellites have been sent to Uranus?

1 has been sent to Uranus. That was the "Voyager 2" spacecraft. Strictly speaking, it wasn't a "satellite" because it did not go into orbit around Uranus.


What kind of probes have been sent to Neptune?

To date, only one has reached Neptune so far. Voyager 2 did a flyby of Neptune in August 1989, sending images and data back to Earth.


How many satellites went to Uranus and what year?

As of now, no spacecraft or satellites have been sent to Uranus. However, there have been missions that have conducted flybys of Uranus, such as Voyager 2 which passed by the planet in 1986, providing valuable data and images. There is a proposed mission called Uranus Pathfinder that aims to send a dedicated orbiter to Uranus in the future, but no specific year has been set yet.


Does Uranus have physical featurs?

Since Uranus is a gas planet, it doesn't have a solid surface like Earth. The top layer of gas is far from quiet. By studying the pictures sent back by the Voyager spacecraft, scientists were able to see that there are winds blowing at over 645 kilometers. an hour, apart from that, it does not have any physical features.
