    Iirc, the probe lasted half an hour before being destroyed. It’s an astonishing achievement to have sent back those pictures.

      That sounds right. I recall that one of the probes had a camera that was able to take a series of images like a video. But the video visually degraded with every shot it took after opening the lens cap. The effect was like watching a movie as the projector film starts to melt.
