The USSR launched the Venera series to study the planet Venus, the Venera 7 probe being the first spacecraft to make a controlled landing on another planet.
Venera 7 on Venus in 1970.
The spaceprobe Venera 3 landed on Venus. It was the first spacecraft to reach the surface of another planet, making contact in March 1966. Venera 3 transmitted data back to Earth for a brief period before losing communication.
The robot sent to Venus was named Venera. Developed by the Soviet Union, the Venera program included several spacecraft that successfully landed on the planet and transmitted data back to Earth, providing valuable insights into Venus's atmosphere and surface conditions. The most notable missions included Venera 7, which was the first spacecraft to send data from the surface of another planet.
The following spacecraft sucessfully flew to Venus (some did not accomplish their mission goals, or were only fly-bys, but did reach the vicinity of the planet): Sputnik 7 - Venera 1 - Mariner 1 - Sputnik 19 - Mariner 2 - Sputnik 20 - Sputnik 21 - Venera 1964A - Venera 1964B - Cosmos 27 - Zond 1 - Venera 2 - Venera 3, Venera 4 - Mariner 5 - Cosmos 167 - Venera 5 - Venera 6 - Venera 7 - Cosmos 359 - Venera 8 - Cosmos 482 - Mariner 10 - Venera 9 - Venera 10 - Pioneer Venus 1 - Pioneer Venus 2 - Venera 11 - Venera 12 - Venera 13 - Venera 14 - Venera 15 - Venera 16 - Vega 1 - Vega 2 - Galileo - Magellan -Cassini - Venus Express - MESSENGER - Planet-C (Venus Climate Orbiter) (See the related link below)
The first planet to be explored by a space probe is Venus. Hope this helps. : )
The Venera Mission was a series of Soviet space missions aimed at exploring Venus, launched between 1961 and 1984. These missions included various spacecraft that successfully landed on the planet's surface, transmitting valuable data about its atmosphere, temperature, and geological features. Venera 7, launched in 1970, was the first spacecraft to transmit data from the surface of another planet, marking a significant achievement in planetary exploration. Overall, the Venera program provided crucial insights into the harsh conditions on Venus, including its high temperatures and pressures.
Venus has been visited by various probes, while other space vehicles have flown past or have entered into orbit around it to study the surface and atmosphere. No one has physically set foot onto the planet. In October 1967, the Soviet Venera 4 probe was the first successful probe to perform in-place analysis of the environment of another planet. In December 1970, Venera 7 became the first man-made spacecraft to successfully land on another planet and to transmit data from there back to Earth. The first probe to land on its surface and sucessfully send back pictures was Venera 9 in October 1975.
Venera 7 was a Soviet spacecraft that successfully landed on Venus on December 15, 1970, becoming the first spacecraft to transmit data from the surface of another planet. It was equipped with instruments to study the atmospheric composition, pressure, and temperature of Venus.
Venera 7 was developed by the Soviet Union and launched on August 17, 1970. It became the first spacecraft to successfully transmit data from the surface of another planet, specifically Venus, on December 15, 1970. The mission marked a significant achievement in planetary exploration.
Several spacecraft have observed Venus, including NASA's Magellan spacecraft which mapped the planet's surface with radar, and the European Space Agency's Venus Express which studied the planet's atmosphere and surface. The Soviet Union's Venera program also sent several landers and probes to Venus in the 1970s and 1980s.
Humans have not visited any planet. They have sent probes to several planets; the first to "land" ("crash into" would be a more accurate term) would be the Soviet Venera 3 which hit Venus in 1966. In 1971, another Soviet craft (Mars 3) landed on Mars.
