Scientific paper

As is well known, the flights of spacecraft to Venus and investigations of Venus from the Earth's surface have made it possible to develop concepts concerning its surface and rocks (composition, structure, and properties). These ideas are based primarily on four panoramic images of the surface and investigation of the elemental composition and physical characteristics of rocks in seven regions of station landings. In addition, definite information on the rocks was obtained on the basis of composition of the near-surface atmosphere and also on the basis of the physical and climatic conditions near the surface. Finally, an important contribution was made by radar studies of macroscale geological structures. During the last two decades all this has made possible a considerable broadening of concepts concerning the Venusian surface and crust, despite the thick atmosphere, dense cloud cover, and severe climatic conditions on the planet.
