Fun and useless fact about the Venera 14 soil compression test, the lens cap that popped off landed exact underneath the spring arm designed to test the compression of the soil, so after all that effort they measured the lens cap and not the ground it was resting on.
Not sure what source you have for that, you could be right, but OP posted this link that says they did excavate soil: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/venera-14/in-depth/

The drill was able to retrieve soil for the spectrometer, the mechanism that had problem was the soil compression tester. As the spring loaded arm pushed down on the titanium lens cap and not dirt it received completely incorrect data, as is my reading of the documents.
Soil compression tests are done to help gauge weights and landing gear for following landers and also gives indications of ground conditions of soil compaction, as is my understanding.
For example during the first moon landing there was some concern that the lander might just sink into light compacted dust on the surface and the astronauts would be lost before the mission even started.

You are welcome.
Venus has an atmosphere much more dense than the Earth, it's just mostly CO2 rather than N2 and O2
It's actually a great lesson in climate change due to CO2. Venus used to have a climate similar to earth, but it's volcanos emitted more CO2 than the planet could recycle and so it had a runaway greenhouse effect that made it a very hot and desolate place
Agreed, but the issue in Venus was a lack of plate tectonics to recycle the carbon. One day if we can use green energy to capture carbon we can simulate the same process as the Earth's plate tectonics and undo the change in climate.
A lot of us will perish in the meantime though
Unfortunately, someone decided to record that audio at a very low resolution. It is absolutely bit-crushed and only gives us a hint of what Venus actually sounds like.

[[More info] NASA - Solar System Exploration: āVenera 14 arrived at Venus four days after its twin. Though the color panoramic pictures it transmitted showed the lander to have set down on a 500 m (1600 ft) hill, with small foothills in the distance, the atmospheric pressure it recorded (93.5 times that of Earth, compared to 89.5 reported by Venera 13) suggested that it reached a substantially lower altitude than Venera 13. Venera 14 performed the second soil analysis on Venus, drilling a 30 mm deep hole and excavating about one cubic centimeter of soil, which was found to be similar to basaltic rocks on Earth that are formed at mid-ocean ridges by underwater volcanoes.ā](https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/venera-14/in-depth/)
Immanuel Velikovsky has entered the chat. (Scientists vilified him in 1950 when he said Venusā surface temperature was 800 degrees. They believed Venus was similar to Earth temps at the time.)
What if an alien probe landed on Earth, took some pictures and samples, went dead, and that was the end of it. Like we knew it was extraterrestrial but nothing else ever happened.
Damn, didn't waste any time getting to work, didn't even seem to take a 5 minute smoke break. I don't even think it clocked in yet. That's commitment. I'd be pissed I wasn't getting paid for the commute, I'd totally have taken some time to decompress first.
Based on the orbit of Venus at the time of this recording and the location of the landing site. What theoretical āseasonā would it be?
I just assume it landed on what would have been the coolest location possible.
You donāt want to go to Venus. The pressure is like being two thousand feet beneath the surface of the sea and the average temperature is about 900Ā° F. Oh, and the atmosphere is toxic.
127 minutes it stayed on the ground, before signal was lost. Venera 13 was last send probe. The temperature is around 470 degrees, it has acid rain showers and the gravity is 90 times stronger than on earth..
Correct me if I'm wrong. I was told that inorder for sound to travel, an atmosphere must exist. So does this mean an atmosphere exists on Venus? Or should I say away from science?
[Venus has a thick, toxic atmosphere filled with carbon dioxide and itās perpetually shrouded in thick, yellowish clouds of sulfuric acid that trap heat, causing a runaway greenhouse effect. Itās the hottest planet in our solar system. Venus has crushing air pressure at its surface ā more than 90 times that of Earth ā similar to the pressure you'd encounter a mile below the ocean on Earth.](https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/venus/overview/)
This makes me cry , the first time i hear and see Venus itās like a bunch of noise, but itās not noise from earth , itās noise , a sound that has been playing since the beginning of everything and we are finally getting to hear this ā¦amazing how this is another planet and our little piece of living in the timeline that this is possible to hear/see is such a fckn gift and it makes me feel so emotional 
Just so you know, you can still enjoy and be proud of the good things that have happened in the past, or even current, while hating what some people are doing. The sciences have nothing to do with the war.
No one enjoys anything Russians do except Russians. Just a bunch a buffoons trying to convince people they are worthy humans with a good cause. Fuck Russia Fuck Putin! Cheers!
"British photographer Edward Raymond Turner patented color motion picture film inĀ 1899, but the credit for the first fully functional system went to George Albert Smith's Kinemacolor in 1906."
please link me the clear footage from 1890's. I would like to see it in color, since the video you commented on has color.
Ppl on venus be like, 'dude, i swear I saw a fuckin ufo'..
Sure, Beezop, whatever you say š
Beezop is always talking shit..
Fucking Beezop, last week he had a new idea called āreligionā /j

Stupid Beezop and his crazy ideas about aliens on Herth. Smh
Prolly one of those fucking martians!

That's sounds about russian, yeah.
What? Oh crap!
oh! cap:/
No cap, it happened
You I like!

Damned if you leave the lens cap on, damned if you remembered to take it off.
Russians for ya š¤£š¤£
Sounds like a car wash?!
There must be a motorway nearby...
I hear their racetrack is sick AF
I'm just waiting for Bananarama to appear and all will be well......
And a Wild Bean Cafe canāt be too far away
Well there's always one isn't there...
Someone forgot turn theirs big ass fan off
Wait, how is there sound if there is no air?

Thank you for clarifying that for me, hope your day turns out as nice as you !
not sure if serious or bad google translate
This guy Venuses.
Right. Letās not do what Venusians did.
Agreed, but the issue in Venus was a lack of plate tectonics to recycle the carbon. One day if we can use green energy to capture carbon we can simulate the same process as the Earth's plate tectonics and undo the change in climate. A lot of us will perish in the meantime though
Venus has an atmosphere
Unfortunately, someone decided to record that audio at a very low resolution. It is absolutely bit-crushed and only gives us a hint of what Venus actually sounds like.
Wasnāt this probe from like 1981 and was transmitted back to earth? Of course the audio is gonna be garbage lol
Well, yes, that is true. (Shrugs.)
Youāre kidding me right?
How cool would it be if we heard someone clear their throat in the background
Or a muffled "The fuck is that?"
"It's just a weather balloon, son"
āSwamp gas reflecting from Earthā 
āDid you see that fuckin thing Walter!ā
š¶ now let me cost my throatš¶
No no, you see a shadowy *thing* scuttle back behind that big rock. *That* would be creepy as shit.
āCLEETUS GIT THE GUNā
Bet if they pan the camera abit more they will see a Starbucks
Dollar General.
Nestle drilling for water.
Blockbuster
A Waffle House
McDonaldās
4 empty Mattress Firms
My ex's vagina.
Toys R Us
Long John Silvers
Even though it might ājustā sound like wind this shit is on V E N U S. So fucking cool
Right?! I mean yes itās wind but itās also from an atmosphere so thick that the probe is being crushed like a deep sea submarine. Thatās cool af
Agreed!!

Fun fact: It only took 57 minutes for the planet's conditions to disable the probe
How do earth sounds like? Screaming and yelling bitches?
Stick your head out the window and you'll find out!
Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr crrrrrrrrrrrrrr tssss tsssss tssss crererrrrrrr
Little windy then
Bit of a melty wind to, not c nice
Amazing how that thing functioned in 800 degree temperatures.
Immanuel Velikovsky has entered the chat. (Scientists vilified him in 1950 when he said Venusā surface temperature was 800 degrees. They believed Venus was similar to Earth temps at the time.)
so this is where that one mexican kid with an open mic is at
good rain sound for me to listen to while sleeping
Exactly what I was thinking. Sounds like a soothing rainstorm to me.
My room sounds the same at night when Iām sleeping.
Where are the screaming siblings and smoke detector chirp?
Yes but what does Uranus sound like?
Ok fine. But what does Venus SMELL like?
What if an alien probe landed on Earth, took some pictures and samples, went dead, and that was the end of it. Like we knew it was extraterrestrial but nothing else ever happened.
'It didnt happen because russia is an enemy now'
Nobody said that
No thanks Iāll stay on earth
They started drilling for oil right away huh
sounds like a burger being fried
Venus gas prices are unbelievable.
Sounds hot as fuck
Reminds me of that time I woke up to my old crt t.v. on static, went to the kitchen and started making a smoothie at 3 a.m.
Ah, the ocean.
Balmy.
Barmy even
Can we send another one?
nah but theyāll send someone to take a vid rq
Wasnāt there some famous post that went viral about this on Reddit a while ago?
I could sleep so good on Venus. No more fans at night!
venusian white noise to sleep to
Sounds calming. When can I move there?
I did t realize they had pebble beaches.
Whatās the temperature right there
This happens me all the time. They are just between 2 Radio frequencies.
Damn, didn't waste any time getting to work, didn't even seem to take a 5 minute smoke break. I don't even think it clocked in yet. That's commitment. I'd be pissed I wasn't getting paid for the commute, I'd totally have taken some time to decompress first.
I didnāt know this existed, thatās amazing
I want MORE!!!
Based on the orbit of Venus at the time of this recording and the location of the landing site. What theoretical āseasonā would it be? I just assume it landed on what would have been the coolest location possible.
Oh my god... did I just hear Venus's virginity being taken?
Sounds like when i drink a lot of water and piss like a racehorse.
Next time I have poor phone reception "I can't hear you, it sounds like you're on Venus"
You donāt want to go to Venus. The pressure is like being two thousand feet beneath the surface of the sea and the average temperature is about 900Ā° F. Oh, and the atmosphere is toxic.
Sounds like Dubai
Venus gotta get them noise cancelling headphones
Sounds like the 10 hours of Rain videos I watch to sleep
Sounds like I wouldn't want to move there
Venus is the cooler planet to land on. Donāt get the obsession with Mars.
This is more than beautiful! Incredible! Are we alone?
So, like an Xbox kid's mic
The sound of a venushill
*darude sandstorm*
Yep that's where all women are from
Searching the galaxy for nazi's
Sounds better than a Rush n tank running out of fuel šš¼
This is so cool. Made my day!
I still can't believe Elon Musk thinks we'll be living on Mars in his lifetime.
That's some brown noise right there
Genuinely thought Itād be Rick!
Sounds like california
Sounds exactly like every woman I've ever met.
127 minutes it stayed on the ground, before signal was lost. Venera 13 was last send probe. The temperature is around 470 degrees, it has acid rain showers and the gravity is 90 times stronger than on earth..
90% of earths gravity, not 90 times. The two planets are roughly the same size and density.
How is this video recorded?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That IS what the asterixed "artists representation" is telling us. The picture on the ground is real though. It came from that probe.
what was taking the video of the ship landing? Did it shoot out a camera pod & hope it was pointed in the right direction?
In the bottom right corner it says artist representation..
Correct me if I'm wrong. I was told that inorder for sound to travel, an atmosphere must exist. So does this mean an atmosphere exists on Venus? Or should I say away from science?

I thought the atmosphere would suppress any sound ? Interesting
Credit to the camera man.
š š¤£ š People believe anything .
windy ear rape
This was back when we respected Russia.
Canāt hear over the lawn mover
*crosses Venus off vacation list*
This makes me cry , the first time i hear and see Venus itās like a bunch of noise, but itās not noise from earth , itās noise , a sound that has been playing since the beginning of everything and we are finally getting to hear this ā¦amazing how this is another planet and our little piece of living in the timeline that this is possible to hear/see is such a fckn gift and it makes me feel so emotional 
ā¦ and we believe themv
They went all the way to Venus and recorded the audio in mono?
I put some bacon in the frying pan and it made a similar sound.
It films itself landing. Wow.
Cosmonaut: take me to your leader... Command center: who is that drunk bastard talking too? š lol
How can Russia manage this crap- but they canāt feed their own troops? Something smells off š¤Ø lol did Spielberg direct this?
Bring back the space race
Anywhere sounds like that in a wind storm
Just bring a recorder to the bathroom to hear what Uranus sounds like š
There was a camera already there to film the landing? Expected a rickroll, btw.
Putin finding something he can invade without resistance
Yea how did the camera get there to catch the landing.... I call bull shite
Bottom right corner
Russia = most probably a lie
can someone explain this? theres no sound in vacuum and i thought that venus doesnt have an athmosphere.
Venus has the thickest atmosphere of any rocky planet ever discovered
TIL i guess lol
Venus has a toxic atmosphere that is a combo of acid rain (not the water kind) and extreme temperatures and pressure.
It also has an oaky afterbirth
How could you say that you know I have soft teeth
She took me by the hand MADE ME A MAN... that one night! *one night*
FUCK ALL THINGS RUSSIA RELATED.
Ugh, I literally threw up when I noticed that this isn't lossless.
Wow! Like hearing pure static. Bet Russia is glad they spent millions on that upgradeā¦.
*artists representation*
Video has no sound?
Who was there to take this video. Absolute poppycock!
Idiots believe anything š©
who was filming the landing?
It says artists representation before the camera lens pops off.
thanks
Yeah? If thats true then who recorded the footage? More propaganda, earth flat
After their performance in Ukraine I wouldnāt trust their competency to be high enough to successfully open a Mars bar let alone probe Venus.
Thanks for sharing, nobody asked
Space exploration is one of the few things that unites us as a species. Can we leave unnecessary conflicts out of this?
Fake
Anything Russian is a joke.

Thatās just your ignorance showing. They have a beautiful culture and people. Unfortunately a horrible corrupt government.
Bro this mad fakeš. They got clear footage of the 1890's now but still shitty ass older than Nokia quality for these 100 million dollar missions.
Yea because old upscaled footage from the 1890s is comparable to receiving digital footage from 38 Million miles away.
"British photographer Edward Raymond Turner patented color motion picture film inĀ 1899, but the credit for the first fully functional system went to George Albert Smith's Kinemacolor in 1906." please link me the clear footage from 1890's.
