Venus Probe for Aldebaran Future Explorer
Since the Aldebaran Future Explorer Aldebaran 4Future cannot operate in the Venus atmosphere, the Aldebaran carries a special Venus probe in its probe bay.
This probe will be dropped from the Aldebaran at a stationary altitude of about 200km above Venus. While the Aldebaran returns to orbit, the probe falls to the surface of Venus, protected by its heat shield.
It can then jettison its heat shield fairings at an altitude of approx. 10-20km and fly over the surface of Venus with its 4 rotors and explore the magnificent panorama.

@CanadaDucK, @IcarusSpaceAgency Thank you :-)
Currently very harsh weather conditions on Venus (500 degrees Celsius, 30 atmospheric pressure...). But fortunately there is no wind... I hope Juno gets a good weather simulation at some point (wind, rain, snow...). -
