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.

How long did the probe last on venus?

The Soviet Venera 7 probe, which was the first successful lander on Venus, transmitted data for about 23 minutes after landing in 1970. Subsequent Venera missions, like Venera 9 and Venera 13, operated for longer, with Venera 13 sending data for approximately 127 minutes before succumbing to the planet's harsh conditions. Generally, probes on Venus have faced extreme temperatures and pressures, limiting their operational lifespan significantly.
