Venus is the second planet from the Sun, located between Earth and the Sun. It has an extremely hot surface temperature due to its dense carbon dioxide atmosphere. While probes have visited Venus, flying within 16 miles of the surface, humans are unable to survive on Venus due to the high heat. The document describes a student-created robot called VVV, short for Violent Venuses Visitor, which is equipped with rockets, a satellite, and cameras to further explore the hostile surface of Venus.
