The early Venera capsules (Venera 1 to Venera 8) had in facrt 2 antennas: One foxed at the centre of the top and one that was deployed on a approx 2 meter long cable. Some good images of the Venera 4 ground tests: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cBHtUFwRT8
A nice video with lots of schematic drawings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7IINGA7Ju0...feature=related And a nice scale model showing the descent module (containing the lander) ontop of the orbiter: I combined your two posts - Moderator |

In posts #09 and #10 we discussed the Venera padobran (parachutes) so I wanted to post one more image.
Remember later Venera landers had a single large main chute of which I'll post an image later... |

Here is a reworked image of the Venera 14 Camera 1 panorama. Camera 1 is on the soil sampler side.
I took all the Venera 14 images processed by Ted Stryk and tried to align them up and play with the color. The predicted changes of the calibration target due to temperature, presssure, and predicted lighting were done by Don Mitchell (here). I used this to compare to the calibration target on the camera 1 side. Camera 1 side is facing towards the light source. A Soviet emblem can be seen on the base of this side of the lander as a pentagonal shape. Normally silver, after color adjustment it appears to be reflecting orangish-yellow light (good!). (I was trying to get all fancy and do a polar projection. That didn't work so well.) -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/

And here is the Venera 14 Camera 2 adjusted panoramic.
Note how the green end of the calibration target matches the background rock. (I also tried to get rid of some of the vertical striping in the images.) -------------------- Some higher resolution images available at my photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/31678681@N07/
