Well, this is intended to be a one-way probe.

Yeah. I guess anything sent to eve is one way.

Almost anything. To get from Eve's surface to orbit, you'll basically need a giant rocket with many stages (the delta-v requirements being about twice or almost three times as much as Kerbin -> Low Kerbin Orbit).

And before that, you have to get that giant rocket all the way to Eve's surface.

That's why I've never done it.


The gravity on eve is too damn high!

Dawn-1 was inspired by the Venera lander probes, and the name is based off a translation of the Japanese Venus probe, Akatsuki.

And yes, there was a parachute, right in between the two antennae.
