Description
We sent them to the most extreme environments in the solar system, places where no human could ever survive. So what happened to them after we lost contact?
From the scorching surface of Venus to the frozen methane rivers of Titan. The crushing atmosphere of Jupiter, to the endless dark void beyond our solar system. What actually happened to these probes after their missions ended? Did they survive? And what do they likely look like today after years, decades, or even billions of years trapped in these hellish places?
In this V101 SPACE documentary, we explore the fate of the Venera probes on Venus, the Huygens lander on Titan, the Galileo atmospheric probe inside Jupiter, and the Voyager spacecraft drifting through interstellar space.
