Strana Bagrovyh Tuch (The Land of Crimson Clouds) is a sci-fi novel about exploring of planet Venus. It was written by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky in 1957 and published in 1959, so it makes exactly 50 years since.

"Hius" is a photon rocket which is placed at the top of the picture. Actually it looks different by description in the novel, but I imagine it like I drew it.

Hius crew:
Krutikov - navigator
Dowgie - geologist
Ermakov - captain
Spitsin - pilot
Bikov - engineer, "desert specialist"
Yurkovskii - geologist

Then there is "Malish" vehicle on surface of Venus and, last, the view from a cockpit of "Malysh".

I experimented with this palette recently, so coincidence with current challenge is random.
