Abstract VEGA 2 was the last Soviet or Russian Venus mission and remains so to the present day. In the 1980s, the Soviet Union and then Russia turned their attention back to Mars. By 1986, Soviet scientists were beginning to reach the limits of what could be achieved on Venus, although some further missions were sketched (Chapter 8). With the unbroken success of the Venus programme from 1975 to 1986, they had good reason to expect that their new efforts on Mars would be more successful than some of the previous missions.
