Unique that this craft was designed to enter Venus, a planet similar in size to Earth, but an order of magnitude greater in atmospheric pressure.

Do use mirrors to watch in real time or do you position your phone to record and watch later?

Lost contact over Germany. This area was looking to be the perigee last time I looked about 2pm today.
