When it reached the preselected point on its orbit, the main rocket fired, contributing additional push that made the station spiral away from the earth and curve inward toward the sun and the orbit of Venus (see diagram...
Soon after the Venus probe left its parking orbit, Russia announced that it was on the correct course and would keep its date with Venus in late May. The U.S.S.R. probably planned to have the station reach its goal on May 15, when the orbits of Venus and the earth are in the same plane. This would have simplified the aiming problem. But two days later, Moscow announced that the station was moving somewhat slower than expected-so that Venus, doing its solar rounds, would catch up with it in late April, or a month earlier than planned...
...indeed to pass within a million miles of it. The unscheduled change of travel time may mean that the aim was not perfect and that the station will miss Venus by an astronomical margin. But the station presumably carries in-course guidance rockets, so it may be able to correct its trajectory...
