     The robot craft, the fifth from the Soviet Union to land on Venus, is a module detached from Venera 13. It plunged through the dense, baking-hot carbon dioxide atmosphere and touched down in the foothills of a mountainous region known as Phoebe, just south of the Venusian equator and also below the active volcanic region of Beta. An identical lander, from Venera 14, is expected to reach Venus Friday and probably put down on the plains east of the Phoebe landing site.
