It's the same principle. In an industrial oven temperatures of 2000C are not that uncommon. Combine this technique with submarine technique. So it's 92 atmosphere down there, equilavent to 1 km below sea level on earth. No problem. It's not technology which hampers the scientists, it's the damn funding. Everything has to be squeezed in a small and as light as possible box. If funding was no issue than a descent rover could be driving on Venus' surface years ago. And please: take a 10Megapixel camara. How do they keep an oven hot. It’s the same principle. In an industrial oven temperatures of 2000C are not that uncommon.

With temperatures exceeding 450ºC (840ºF) and pressures over 92 times that of the surface of the Earth, landing a rover on the surface of Venus is quite a feat. This, however, is exactly what a research and development team at the NASA John Glenn Research Center hopes to accomplish.
