Scientific paper
As of this writing, the USSR's Venus-exploration probes have accomplished atmospheric analyses at different altitudes in the Venus atmosphere, pressure and temperature readings, lightning observations, wind-velocity measurements, close-up terrain imaging, in situ rock and soil analyses, seismic measurements, and radar terrain-imaging from orbit. While NASA's accomplishments are fewer, the Magellan Venus Radar Mapper will furnish a wealth of new information beginning in August, 1990. Magellan will use the same antenna to both scan the Venus surface and transmit the resulting data back to earth at 268.8 kbit/sec. Magellan will cover up to 90 percent of the Venus surface in the course of its 'nominal' mission, lasting an entire Venusian day.
