-From: rkornilo@nyx.cs.du.edu (Ryan Korniloff) -Subject: Re: Next unmanned missions to Venus * -Date: 24 Jan 93 06:39:04 GMT -Organization: University of Denver, Dept. of Math & Comp. Sci. -Hmmm, well, I guess if we were to make any kind of serious exploration of -Venus's surface we would have to develop electronics componants that -operate comforably at 900f. And metals that can protect the inards of the -probe from terrential sulfuric acid down-poors.. -How WOULD we do that by the way? Anyone know?? Read the October 1992 Scientific American. If they pan out, diamond film semiconductors should be able to operate at up to 700 C (as compared to ~450 C Venus surface temperatures), and be smaller and 40-100 times faster than silicon semiconductors.
