Could a submarine survive on Venus?

Could a submarine survive on Venus?

At 872 degrees Fahrenheit, Venus’ atmosphere would make for very tough survival inside any submarine. Internal temperatures would rapidly become not merely uncomfortable, but totally unsurvivable.

Can a submarine feel a hurricane?

Can you Feel the Waves on a Submarine When it’s Under the Water? Normally, a submerged submarine will not rock with the motion of the waves on the surface. It is only in the most violent hurricanes and cyclones that wave motion reaches as much as 400 feet below the surface.

Can You Survive a nuclear attack on a submarine?

You probably can; assuming a nuclear sub, but such a vessel would be a gross overkill. The differential pressure in space between living quarters and outside is about 14.7 psi versus what a submarine needs to deal with at maximum crush depth which may be hundreds of psi, albeit in crush strength.

Do submarines freeze in space?

Submarines do not have the same kind of insulation that space stations have, so the heating/cold might be an issue. Yes, both of the clips there are ships without power freezing, but they are space ships with space insulation and the submarine is designed to combat the constant ambient ocean temperatures.

Can you die in space from a submarine launch?

If your submarine is being launched from the surface of an Earth-like planet, this will happen before it reaches space (100km up). Consider Helios 522 where people passed out and died somewhere under 10km up. Short answer: NO.

How do submarines keep air inside of them?

Well, a submarine is primarily designed for pressures on the outside trying to crush it. However, I expect that the same seals that keep water out, will help keep the air inside. They of course will have no propulsion at all except for evacuating the ballast tanks. Some of the subs are designed to survive six months under the ice caps on missions.
