Platforms under consideration include fixed-altitude balloons, variable-altitude balloons, aircraft-like vehicles with three-dimensional maneuvering capabilities, and others. Design configurations of descent vehicles and deployment strategies for these platforms in Venus’ atmosphere are discussed. Specific deployment mechanisms for balloons are detailed. The study also models the dynamics of spherical descent vehicles equipped with balloons, analyzing trajectory parameters during different phases. Results confirm the parameters remain within acceptable limits throughout descent.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Рассмотрены различные воздушные платформы для исследования атмосферы Венеры на месте, подчеркивается их потенциальная интеграция в будущие миссии. Рассматриваемые платформы включают аэростаты с фиксированной высотой полета, аэростаты с переменной высотой полета, летательные аппараты, подобные самолетам, с возможностью трехмерного маневрирования и др. Обсуждаются конструктивные конфигурации спускаемых аппаратов и стратегии развертывания этих платформ в атмосфере Венеры. Подробно описаны конкретные механизмы развертывания аэростатов. Исследование также моделирует динамику сферических спускаемых аппаратов, оснащенных воздушными шарами, анализируя параметры траектории на разных этапах. Результаты подтверждают, что параметры остаются в допустимых пределах на протяжении всего спуска.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>atmospheric descent</kwd><kwd>balloon probe</kwd><kwd>descent vehicle</kwd><kwd>deployment</kwd><kwd>trajectory modeling</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>атмосферный спуск</kwd><kwd>аэростатный зонд</kwd><kwd>спускаемый аппарат</kwd><kwd>развертывание</kwd><kwd>моделирование траектории</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Moskalenko GM.
