Could we put an airship in Venus’s atmosphere? It seems like it’d be more useful than sending something to the surface, but I know nothing about the engineering involved.
For a short time, maybe. Until it is shred to pieces or dissolved by the atmosphere I would guess. But I’m not an aerospace engineer. :)
No, it’s actually kind of an idea that people have thought about. The upper atmosphere on Venus is a kind of OK environment and because of the thick atmosphere, it’s even easier to float there than on earth. The trouble really starts when the acid clouds begin.
Good to know.
Yes, it’s always the same with acid clouds.
