The Soviet space probe Venera 14 was part of the Venera program, which aimed to explore Venus. Venera 14 successfully landed on Venus on March 5, 1982. The spacecraft consisted of a lander and an orbiter.
The lander conducted experiments and collected data on the Venusian atmosphere, soil composition, and other environmental factors. It carried instruments to analyze the soil, measure atmospheric properties, and take color photographs of the Venusian surface.
The Venera 14 mission provided valuable scientific data and contributed to the understanding of Venus's harsh conditions. The spacecraft operated for about 57 minutes on the surface before succumbing to the extreme temperatures and pressures of Venus.
