Simulates a Venera-class lander descending through Venus's dense sulfuric-acid cloud deck to the surface, tracking hull pressure and temperature against real atmosphere profiles, then a 127-minute surface survival clock matching Venera 13's actual 1982 endurance.

⚙ Under the hood

Interactive 3D Three.js simulator of a Venera-class lander descending through Venus's dense sulfuric-acid cloud decks to the surface, with hull pressure and temperature interpolated along real atmosphere profiles, then a live 127-minute surface survival clock matching Venera 13's actual 1982 endurance before its electronics overheated. Includes a Venus vs Earth vs Mars pressure-temperature comparison panel.
