The Soviet exploration of Venus, from 1961 to 1985, is the largest effort ever undertaken to study another planet. The fundamentals of interplanetary spacecraft design and remote sensing were first realized in the Venera missions. Successes included 3 atmospheric probes, 10 landings, 4 orbiters, 11 flybys or impacts, and 2 balloon probes in the clouds. Much of what is known today about Venus was discovered by these missions.

The history of Soviet planetary and Lunar probes has been neglected in the West, and the pictures returned from these missions are difficult to find. This catalog brings together most of the available images from the Moon, Mars and Venus. Click on a lefthand image to enter a specific catalog page:
