4MV
The 4MV planetary probe (short for 4th-generation Mars-Venus probe) is a designation for a common design used for Soviet unmanned probes to Mars and Venus. It was an incremental improvement of earlier 3MV probes and was used for Mars missions 4 to 7 and Venera missions 9 to 16. The same base design was used for some earth-orbiting space observatories.[1]

Design
The spacecraft bus has a height of 2.8 meters (9 ft 2 in) and a solar panel span of 6.7 meters (22 ft). The central section of the bus has a diameter of about one meter (3 ft 3 in) and contained propellant. The main engine (KRD-425A) is encircled by a conical instrument compartment with the diameter of 2.35 meters (7 ft 9 in) at the base.[2]

gollark: Also, did you consider websockets instead of some weird HTTP polling?
gollark: <@426660245738356738> Can you share the code for the HTTP server this presumably connects to?
gollark: Still, I think that trying to use CC without programming anything... kind of defeats the point of using CC.
gollark: Well, that seems somewhat more useful than other OSes I guess?
gollark: It's not tied into THOR though.
