Indian Venus Missions

Only USSR achieved the distinction of landing an probe in Venus.

If we achieve the landing. Will be the greatest feat in history of Indian Space age.
Landing is just one part of the challenge. The real achievement would be capturing a photo or even a short video and successfully transmitting it back, which would make history. The Soviet Union’s greatest accomplishment with their Venus landing wasn’t just reaching the planet—it was the development of materials capable of withstanding its extreme conditions. To achieve something comparable, we need to start from the very basics, beginning with the design of circuits. These circuits must then be constructed using special materials, such as gold and other exotic metals, to ensure the durability of components like chips and recording instruments in harsh environments. If ISRO can master this level of engineering, it would be a feat on par with the Soviet Venus lander.

Greatest feat of Indian space technology will be beyond Venus landing. Even beyond an Indian Space Station or a Manned moon landing.

We just have entered the big league in 2010.

Venus is the hardest rocky planet to land on. Its 400°C temperature, sulfuric acid-rich corrosive, and thick atmosphere make it much harder to land on than Mars. If we ace it, Mars will be a cakewalk.

Not really. Mars has no atmosphere and still have enough mass to generate gravity to smash things if they cannot brake properly.

Right now NASA has a hard time of how to land bigger vehicles as they are approaching their upper limit of size given their technological advances.

There’s no fucking way that Musk’ starship can land on mars given that size. He would have to carry all that fuel in a second ship to Mars and drain that fuel from the second ship, abandon the second ship in orbit and then land the first starship on Mars where it’s permanently stranded after expending all that fuel slowing itself down and landing itself. It would literally take a decade to make all that fuel to launch itself. Which begs its own question - where is Musk gonna get that necessary power and machinery to produce methane fuel on Mars? He would have to keep landing like 20 starships and abandon 20 starships in Mars orbit to be able to send one starship back to Earth.
