Project Soviet Venera and Mars Collaborative (Orbiter2016)

[MarkWatney2015]

This thread will host the development of the Soviet Venera program for Orbiter2016 as requested by 4th rock and N_Molson here. I'm thinking that the Soviet Mars program be also included here since it shares similarities in technology with Venera.

I have been longing for the Mars 2 and 3 Orbiters, landers and Prop-M rovers to be Orbiter addons for a long while

Don't be shy, feel free to help, both Blender and Visual Studio can be downloaded for free, and there are video tutorials to learn how to use them (it only takes some time and patience).

Reposting the VB-version of the Venera 9-14 lander here. This still needs some improvements in its aerodynamic parameters as it descends too fast for the probes to actually survive the impact on the surface in real-life. Original addon by 4throck
