this is how an Italian magazine imagined a submarine-like Venus lander, post Mariner 2

I wasn't aware that Mariner 5 altered the overall impression of Venus' surface conditions much.The dense atmosphere was refracting the radio occultation experiment and the signal was still being received almost 7 minutes after Mariner had crossed behind the limb. This gave a pressure value much higher than previously expected which helped the USSR to further develop their Venera landers.
