A photo from open sources Although surface pressure Venus is 92 atmospheres and a temperature of 500 degrees Celsius, it is the second planet from the Sun that is better suited for fast colonization compared to Mars. But there is one “but.” Colonization is necessary not on the surface of the planet, but its atmosphere on altitude of approximately 50 km. At this point, the pressure normalizes to normal earth, and the temperature is approximately 75 degrees Celcius. This is 17 degrees more than the record temperature. recorded on Earth, however, and the conditions of Mars with an average a temperature of -63 degrees is also difficult to call uniquely more suitable. The atmosphere of Venus has a positive effect on the level of exposure. At an already specified height, irradiation is comparable to the level the same Canada, but on Mars the power of cosmic radiation almost 40 times higher than Earth’s indicators. To master the atmosphere of Venus is supposed to be on modern airships equipped with solar panels. This kind of energy is going to Venus is 40% more effective than on Earth and more than double more effective than on Mars. Not the last role in possible colonization Venus is also played by the fact that it is closer to Earth in compared with Mars and the expedition to it may take half time than to Mars. Havoc Mission (High Altitude Venus Operational Concept) involves launching in the near future on Venus automatic intelligence modules that will be in the atmosphere of the planet for about 30 days. After that, it will go into orbit module with two people on board, where they will stay for about one year. In case of successful completion of the mission, a permanent the presence of people in the orbit of Venus.
