"The Russian Venus probe VeGa abandoned in 1984 two radiosondes in the atmosphere of Venus, which could be tracked two days long."
This sentence looks like it needs to be reworded but I don't know the details to know if it is that the Russian probe VeGa has been abandoned, or whether the writer meant to say that the probe released two radiosondes. I will do this edit if no one seems to be tracking this page.

[edit] 403 MHz or 1700 MHz?
The NWS factsheet link at the end of this article says that radiosondes transmit between 1668.4 and 1700 MHz. There's no mention of 403-406 MHz.

403MHz is used extensively in Australia where in 2007 they were using Vaisala RS-92 sondes, I know Australia are not the only users of Vaisala sondes so 403MHz is likely to be used in many locations throughout the world Hoxygt 06:47, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] History?
I think this [1] should go into a history section and be expanded. At the moment it rather reads as though the Russians invented it out of nowhere William M. Connolley 21:18, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
