Best Answer

The American probe Mariner 2 performed the first flyby of Venus.

The Russian probe Venera 4 was able to sample Venus' atmosphere and enter the atmosphere but it was destroyed by the pressure and the landing impact.

Venera 7 was the first to make a successful soft landing and also sent back some data.

Venera 9 was the first probe to send back images of the surface.
