Magellan Project Records 1978-1993.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/773835043

The records in this collection were assembled from 8 Archive collections/accessions and 6 shipments. It gathers together records created and collected by personnel in the Magellan Project and includes records from earlier Venus missions including Venus Radar Mapper (VRM) and Venus Orbiting Imaging Radar (VOIR) which eventually became the Magellan mission. Records include IOMs and other correspondence, presentations, reports, reviews, photographs, press kits, schedules, newsletters, brochures and handwritten notes. Duplicates, JPL D documents, P Photographs, and temporary records were removed during processing. Selected folders within each box are described in some detail in the attached finding aid (because not all boxes were inventoried to the folder level, the collection may contain duplicates of items in other JPL Archives collections).

Magellan to Venus. Although Venus is Earth's closest neighbor both in distance and size, its environment is strikingly different from ours. The planet named for the goddess of love is a scorchingly hot world with a surface temperature of about 470 C (about 900 F). The chokingly thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide is blanketed by clouds of sulfuric acid that hide the planet's surface from our view. In the 1970s and early 1980s, the United States and the Soviet Union sent o...
