Part 76 Venusology
Dedicated to Carl Sagan 1937-1996
The Planet Venus got back in focus of scientist in 1990s
Venus was regular visit by Soviet since 1970s with Verena probes, sporadically by NASA and ESRO, here was most spectacular the manned fly-by of Ares mission during 1990s.
It was this fly-by, were they detected in Venus upper Atmosphere Phosphine.
This is quite unusual since, there is no know chemical process in Venus atmosphere, that explain the presents of Phosphine.
On Earth its part of global phosphorus biochemical cycle, but on Venus has no biochemical cycle, or is some form of life in Atmosphere ?
This let to wild speculation.
The Soviets had neglect Venus since 1986 VeGa probes, in favour of Mars probes for manned Aelita Mission
With discovery of Phosphine, the Soviets got curious.
Venera 17 & 18 was their return to Venus, they drop landers, this time equip with sensors primarily to scann Venus atmosphere. confirming presents of Phosphine.
But in layer of roughly 10 km thick in upper atmosphere at 50 km altitude.
Next step were to call the French, they had build balloon probes Montgolfier 1&2 on VeGa mission, and Montgolfier 3 on Mars under Marshochod program.
Now Montgolfier 4&5 became counterpart of Viking 1&2, but under Helium balloon, able to survive months in Atmosphere Venus.
Under Venera 19 & 20 they arrived at Venus and successful deploy their Balloon at 50 km over Venus surface.
Here the Pressure of Venus Atmosphere is 1 bar, while temperature are mild between +30°C to +50°C
While the test for Life in Venus Atmosphere had inadequate results, were the meteorological data boring, but the picture of Venusian sky are spectacular,
special of the other Balloons,
…Other Balloons ?
Allot photos show swarms of balloon like objects, close to cloud layer, estimation on size resulted like the probe, up to hot air Balloon used on Earth!
Mostly in color of Venus cloud, on Infrared show those Balloons were hotter as they’re surrounding clouds.
The scientists were confused, what are they ? a bizarre result of chemical reaction on Venus or a Life form ?
To get more data, Montgolfier 4 lower it altitude to top of cloud layer, to get close up picture of those Balloons, what manage to get good picture.
Those balloons looking like organic structure similar to jellyfish and also something blurry that move very fast in distance, too fast for cameras of probe.
until picture show how the blur attack one of balloon, who burst and blur took the parts under balloon.
The blur was better to see, revealing a swallow like creature in size of small aircraft !
Montgolfier 4 found life in Venus Atmosphere !
After that probe was attacked and destroy by one of the swallow creature, mistaking it as his prey !
Montgolfier 5 was raised to higher altitude to be safe, Follow by Question what to do next ?
This news hit the World like a bomb, no one expected life like this on Venus,
SOVCOSMO, NASA, ESRO JASA turn there focus to Venus and it strange ecology with more probes,
Even UN intervene for several reasons, protect the Venusian Life and prevent a cross contamination of Earth and Venus.
USSR, USA, EU, Japan, India sight UN Venus Protection Treaty, this set rules to protect Venus life and prevent arrival of Earth life on Venus.
Except China, that not even react on UN initiative, but increase launch of Venus Probes.
After Ballons probe came aircraft, gliders, even Sample return probe !
Further study of Venus life show that swallows use Echolocation to find there prey, this knowledge was used to protect probe from there attacks.
Carl Sagan and Edwin Salpeter predicted in 1976, similar lifeforms in one essay on speculative life in cloud of Jupiter or other Gas giants.
Both got Nobel-price in Physiology for now called Saganecology in January 1996.
it was quite simple ecology, it base formed bacteria that thrived in upper atmosphere of Venus, from that lived feeders like Ballons and on those thrive hunters the Swallows.
Carl Sagan on his theory in TV-Series Cosmos
The Soviet went to radical step in Exploration of Venus.
They abandon the Aelita Program of Mars exploration, using the hardware to establish first interplanetary outpost in Solarsystem !
Manned Venus orbit station „Solaris“ bought by Aelita spaceship, the Station name was homage on Stanislav Lem Novel,
About people on space station over planet Solaris, trying to understand this impossible Planet and mystery.
You understand the similarity between Solaris and Venus.
The Station is occupy by 6 cosmonaut, who study the Planet and send probes into Atmosphere.
Also has the station a sealed Biolab module were cosmonaut under remote control study safely samples of Venus lifeforms.
The Venus life is quite different of Earth, it needs sulphuric acid instead of water. Carbonmonoxid play important role in metabolism of Venus life.
What explain lack of result on Montgolfier 4&5, there experiment were to detect more Earth like lifeforms, not strange one of Venus
It Result in conclusions that Venus life was incompatible with Earth life, in fact Venus microbes died fast exposed to earth atmosphere.
The information found in Venus atmosphere revolutionised Biology and Genetics.
The current theory on Venus Life goes that Planet started like Earth, but greenhouse effect turn Venus into hellish Planet, around 2 billion years ago.
Microbes on Venus manage to escape the surface oceans into Atmosphere and evolved there.
Now scientist wondering if Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune have also Saganecology ?
Other were questioning: how intelligent are the Venus Swallow ?
