The launching of Soviet probes Venera-15 and -16 were ushered in a new stage in the exploration of Venus. They were the first to make high resolution photographs of a large part of the Venusian surface. With the images showing distinctly most geological structures, it became possible to brush aside conjectures and begin a direct study of the planet's surface, its origin and evolution. This stage could be accomplished owing to the unification of radar planetary studies and planetary flights. Venera-15 and -16 were equipped with radar systems composed of a side-looking radar with the resolution of close to one kilometer and a radioaltimeter whose measurements helped recreate the surface features. The images were obtained through an extremely complex mathematical process.
