Don't forget this, if it reaches the surface we will be the first in decades to stream some cool pictures of venusian surface.ISRO should send a high quality camera,instead of their usual shitty cameras like in CY-3' lander imager cameras. This mission will be one of its kind, just like how Chandrayaan-1's Moon Impact Probe discovered water during its descent, I hope this too discovers something significant and path breaking

I think one of the constraints of that is the environment of Venus is really hostile to modern electronics, so fitting a camera would mean that it would be made from materials that could withstand the Venusian atmosphere for atleast a week, and I am not sure how much leeway that gives for quality pictures

No need to survive for a week,just few hours is enough

hope its a lander mission , only images of surface is old mission from soviets

supposed to be mushrooms there

Earlier this year Somnath sir said that we don't have capability to make crew module here in India & it has to be procured from outside...

Hundreds of tests planned, working to get crew module from outside India: ISRO’s Somanath on Gaganyaan

ISRO will test its Crew Escape System (CES) on Oct. 21, 2023, to ensure astronauts' safety in case of a launch vehicle malfunction. The test will use a single-stage rocket powered by liquid propellants, and the mission will be uncrewed. ISRO Chairman S. Somanath spoke of the mission, the crew...

one of ISRO's earlier EOIs from 2019-20 also specifically asked for European or North American manufacturer.

But now he confirmed that crew module will be made in india itself by HAL

'Robots Will Operate India's Space Station Before Astronauts Call It Base': ISRO Chief Shares Exclusive Details - News18

Dr S Somanath also said the Boeing Starliner episode, which has left two astronauts stranded at the International Space Station, has had no impact on India’s Gaganyaan plans though the space agency is cautious

Venera landers were cased in housings designed by engineers working on Soviet submarine programs
Still managed to survive only around 40 minutes on venusian surface, goes on to show how much corrosive venus' surroundings can get

Those are molten lead or metal that fell from the spacecraft as it descended down. Probably remnants of antennas or metal parts sticking out of the heat shield.

Some sort of anti corrosive spray after landing is needed. Which will delay the corrosion.

1. Total gaganyan missions increased to 8.
2. NGLV first development launch in 7 to 8 years. Three developmental launches sanctioned. 3rd launch pad to be made. NGLV first stage to be landed on a barge.
3. BAS 1st module will be launced in 2028 using lvm3.
4. Talks about CY3, venus mission, data relay sats for gagan.

I think gaganyan mission will take more time, not even one full configuration flight happen till now. Atleast 3 mock test require.

8 missions = 3 unmanned mission + first manned mission + 4 more manned missions.

First unmammed mission within few months, all subsystems of LV already in SHAR.

Union Cabinet Approves India’s Mission to Venus, and Sample Return from the Moon

Seems descent module missing on venus probe !

 

[Anonymous Bharata]

As I have said long back in DFI, Our venus mission will be lit , this orbiter with 19 payloads (highest ever) will set a benchmark for venusian exploration

Since Somnath sir himself have confirmed about the descent probe, let's wait for some more time , the render of the orbiter is not latest, it is atleast 2 years old
