Space exploration has become one of the most developing areas in recent years. Venus study allows learning this nearest to Earth planet and being on a par with other countries in this challenge. In this paper, we present our solutions to such problems as the interplanetary flight trajectory calculation, the orbiter’s injection into Venus’s orbit, the landing of another part of the spacecraft on Venus’s surface and the computation of the duration of spacecrafts’ visibility. We describe a number of calculated parameters for various hyperbolic interplanetary trajectories and the highly elliptical one-day orbit around Venus. Moreover, we search some information about the touchdown of the lander and the visibility zone for the orbiter. This data will be useful for further researches and calculations.
