The Venera-D (Russian: Венера-Д pronounced [vʲɪˈnʲerə dɛ]) probe is a proposed Russian space probe to Venus to be launched around 2024. Venera-D’s prime purpose is to make radar remote-sensing observations around the planet Venus in a manner similar to that of the Venera 15 and Venera 16 probes in the 1980s or the U.S. Magellan in the 1990s but with the use of more powerful radar. Venera-D is also intended to map future landing sites.
