There was a claim that Venera 13 was the first probe to record sound from another world, and huygens was the second. this appears to be false, so i removed it. there were devices that recorded signals that may have been converted into sound, but they were probably only earlier Venera probes as well.. either way, it seems false. 82.6.96.66 ( talk) 00:55, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
also, i've suggested a merge of the Venera 13 and Venera 14 articles in Venera 13 and 14 (similar to Mariner 6 and 7). comments would be welcome. 82.6.96.66 ( talk) 00:56, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Maybe we should have names for the spacecraft "series", like NASA does. The Venera 9-12 would all be of the type Venera 4V-1 (see this NASA page), Venera 13-14 would be Venera 4V-1M, and Venera 15,16 would be Venera 4V-2. These "series" could have their own articles, or simply be detailed in the Venera article. Or maybe it's best to describe the spacecraft details are differences in an article titled Venera 4V.

it isn't clear to me whether probes like Sputnik 19 should be included in this article. It flew to venus, and was a soviet probe similar to the venera probes.. does that mean it should be hear? right now it is included in the table, but not in the "venera probes" section. i suggest that it shouldn't be here, and only the probes with "venera" in there names should be in the table at the end, but i don't know much about it. 82.6.96.66 ( talk) 01:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
all kinds of veneras where realead 13 of 16 missions reached the planet safely —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.167.141.245 ( talk) 01:29, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Sputnik-19 was a Venus probe, but it failed to leave Earth orbit. It and others like it should be mentioned in connection with their would-be sister spacecrafts. DonPMitchell ( talk) 22:09, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
The two Vega missions should be added to this list. Vega is an abbreviation of "Venera-Gallei" (Venus-Halley). It dropped a landing probe and a balloon aerostat on venus and later passed by Halley's comet. DonPMitchell ( talk) 22:12, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
The entry states to program made "many scientific findings", but only lists one. How about expanding on this? -- 209.203.125.162 ( talk) 18:17, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

It appears that a lot of the text was generated by translation, probably from Russian sources - can someone go through and make sense of it? Many of the English sentences are at best awkwardly phrased - like the "venera station liqud-based engine" caption, which I can only guess means "Liquid fuel engine used on the Venera space probe" or something. This may also may have next to nothing to do with the Venera program, maybe a booster of the same name, because that engine if far too large to use in-mission. I would fix it myself but some of it is impossible to decipher. Also "internal switchboard failure" which seems to be a mis-tranlation of "telemetry multiplexer failure".— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.204.165.36 ( talk) 14:48, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
Is there any information one why the Russians chose to do such an intensive programme with Venus? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.151.49.187 ( talk) 20:44, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

The amazing transmitted photos is the first thing I was hoping to see as a reader. Does anyone have images transmitted these missions that can be included in the article? (for example http://mentallandscape.com/C_Venera_Perspective.jpg )
