The capsule antenna was extended, and signals were returned for 35 min. Another 23 min of very weak signals were received after the spacecraft landed on Venus, probably because the capsule bounced onto its side on landing and the medium gain antenna was not pointed correctly for strong signal transmission to Earth.

Venera7 was launched from an earth parking orbit towards Venus to study the Venusian atmosphere and other phenomena of the planet.
Venera 12 was launched into a 177 x 205 km, 51.5 degree inclination Earth orbit from which it was propelled into a 3.5 month Venus transfer orbit which involved two mid-course corrections, on 21 September and 14 December.
Venera 15 was part of a two spacecraft mission (along with Venera 16) designed to use side-looking radar mappers to study the surface properties of Venus.
The Venera spacecraft, unlike the Soviet Mars probes, were tremendously successful, and made the first soft landings on and sent back the first pictures from the surface of Venus.
The probe confirmed Venera 7's data on the high surface temperature and pressure, and also determined that the light level was suitable for surface photography, being similar to the illumination on an overcast day on Earth.
Venera 14's attempt at surface analysis was foiled when its drilling arm landed on one of the ejected camera covers.
