Hi Everyone.

Can anyone tell me about the space probe that went to map the surface of Venus? 
I believe the name of the probe was Magellan, but I can not confirm this.  It
was launched about a year ago from a space shuttle.  Any advice you can give
will be greatly appreciated, as I am trying to do a report for my astronomy
class of probes of the '80s.
