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.

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

Speaking exclusively to CNN-News18, ISRO Chairman Dr S Somanath said once the space station is built, the agency plans to keep the mission robotic in nature for the initial phase before Indian astronauts call it their base

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.
