Heat shield 1,800 centigrade.

Switching to Venus com sat 4.

(TOM) Orpheus Pegasus.

0rpheus Pegasus, over.

Orpheus Pegasus.

Orpheus Pegasus, over.

- FiD0, when are you expecting tracking?

- Two minutes ago, Flight.

Orpheus Pegasus.

Orpheus Pegasus.

- Is the high gain antenna on?

- (CRACKLY TRANSMISSI0N FR0M 0RPHEUS)

(CHEERING)

(BABBLE 0F V0ICES)

Successful flight chute deployed.

Post-guidance systems are good.

Wind speeds are up, 0rpheus.

You are drifting west.

Thin margin. Compensating east.

Been told there's flashes.

- Yeah, roger that. We saw that one from here.

- Higher sulphur than expected.

Something could've erupted.

Hey, I can see the surface.

I can see it's beneath us -

exactly like the radar images.

Three metres minus half.

Forward one, down half.

- How's the cabin pressure?

- Pressure's good.

(ZO) Abort override off.

(TOM) Looks good. You got a stay for Venus.

(ZO) Orpheus has arrived in HadesI

(CHEERING)

(THUNDER)

(THUNDER)

(TOM) We have visual on Venera 14.

(NINA) Radar's giving 236 metres.

(JOHN) Looks further. Unbelievable distortion.

(CRACKLING THUNDER)

(ZO) Lost the camera.

- It's imploded under the pressure.

- Did we get his first step? Any words?

(YVAN) Looking at the surface camera on one.

(YVAN) Are you getting this, 0rpheus?

It's like a dull day in Moscow down here.

Strange flat light everywhere. 0range.

(Z0) Beautiful. Don't stop.

(YVAN) I can't tell where the sun is.

There are no shadows.

- (THUNDER)

- (CAPCOM) Pegasus Control.

We are enjoying the show, but be advised,

you're four minutes behind the timeline.

- (NINA) Seismic sensors are recording activity.

- It's just Yvan's footsteps.

His heart rate is higher than the simulations.

He will have to take it more slowly.

There may not be time for all the experiments.

(YVAN) 0K... (GASPS F0R BREATH)

Seismic sensor network is set.

- (THUNDER)

- This is a grim place.

It's difficult to judge distance.

And the atmosphere is so dense,

it's like walking through water.

(EXPL0SI0N)

(TOM) Orpheus Pegasus, tell him to forget

the camera. He's gotta move on.

Orpheus, do you copy?

Got a warning light. We're trying to get

a visual on that. Got a computer shutdown.

Yvan, you're behind. Suggest you move on.

(ZO) I've got one or two issues in here,

too. Let's not overstay our welcome.

(YVAN GASPS) Yes, some welcome.

0K...let's see if Venera's done any better.

(TOM) Orpheus, it's time to pace himself.

That's a 450-metre round trip.

Must be at least 50 metres.

It's difficult to see through this heat haze...

but it looks like she's still in one piece.

Just past the 28-minute mark. Suit temperature
