Is it possible to land a rover on the surface of Venus?

It would be nice to send a rover to Venus and have it sent back pics like the rovers in Mars. But is it possible yet? I know that Venus is literally HELL so it would have to be an extremely tough rover.Is it possible to land a rover on the surface of Venus?
Actually the Russians have already sent probes to Venus. The first probe that landed on Venus was the Venera 4 on 1967. Although most were destroyed due to the immense pressure and heat.



Search up the Venera 4, Venera 5, Venera 6, Venera 7, ect.
with the atmospheric pressure, yes. it is not impossible. nothing is. stick a black hole generator onto a ship and it will go the speed of light.(dangerous though) . the technology would have to be pretty advanced thoughIs it possible to land a rover on the surface of Venus?
The Russians did sent a probe called Venera which landed on Venus. However it was not mobile, and it died rather quickly from the high temperatures.
Yes, but it would be pretty futile: The rover wouldn't last more than two hours in the best case, so the mobility wouldn't be exploited well. Even if you can do a quick start, you couldn't travel more than 2 kilometers before overheating, without any science being done, and with the motors of the motive system additionally overheating you.



The best research tool on Venus would actually be a blimp or zeppelin, since the dense atmosphere would make this easier.Is it possible to land a rover on the surface of Venus?
The Russian venera spacecraft were not rovers, just landers and none of them

lasted more than about an hour. Eventually, technology will probably

overcome the hurdles of temperature and pressure and give us a clearer

picture of what the surface of Venus is like but that day is pretty far off right now.
A number of stationary soft-landed surface probes have already been sent to Venus and have returned valuable surface condition data. No rover has yet been sent. The harsh conditions on the Venus surface make it very challenging to engineer a surface vehicle (stationary or mobile) with a duration longer than about 30 minutes.
They already have.
