Which spacecraft was the first to successfully fly past another planet?
Mariner 2 in 1962. The planet was Venus.
How many NASA mission went to Venus?
All exploration of Venus to date has been by unmanned space probes.Mariner 2 was the first NASA probe to flyby Venus in 1962, followed by Mariner 5 in 1967 and Mariner 10 in 1973 . There were many Soviet missions to the planet in the 1970s and 1980s, some of which landed probes there.Pioneer Venus 1 orbited the planet from 1978 to 1992, mapping the surface, while Pioneer Venus 2, also launched in 1978, sent four probes into the atmosphere.The Magellan mission (1989-1994) mapped and studied the surface from orbit.The MESSENGER mission to Mercury (2004-2012) made two fly-bys of Venus, in 2006 and 2007.
Which Mariner series of space probes was the first to visit another planet?
Mariner 10, launched on November 3, 1973, studied Mercury and Venus. After passing Venus in February, 1974, it did an extremely close fly-by of Mercury on March 29, 1974, passing within 437 miles (703 km) of the surface. It made two more flyby passes in September, 1974 and March, 1975. The third flyby was even closer than the first one, coming within 203 miles (327 km) of Mercury.Unfortunately, the limited solar orbit of the probe meant that each of the three passes observed the same hemisphere of Mercury illuminated by the Sun. Only about 45% of the surface was photographically mapped.The geography of Mercury will be extensively detailed by the new MESSENGER spacecraft, which has already flown by Mercury three times since its launch in 2004, and will begin orbiting the planet on March 18, 2011.
Did the project mercury missions land on mercury or just fly past it?
We have sent probes that have flown past Saturn. The Cassini space probe is currently in orbit around the planet. It is impossible to land anything on Saturn because it does not have a surface. We have, however, landed a probe on Titan, Saturn's largest moon.
Is it less time to fly from UK to Perth Australia or Florida to Perth Australia?
It has to be quicker to fly from the UK because Florida is on the opposite side of the planet from Perth.

What year did Mariner land on Venus?
None of the Mariners actually landed on Venus. They were "fly-by" missions. Mariner 2 reached Venus in December 1962 and Mariner 5 in 1967. In 1973, Mariner 10 passed Venus and used the planet's gravity to alter its course and continued on to Mercury.

What year did the mariner 10 visit mercury?
Launched November 3rd, 1973, Mariner 10's third fly-by of the planet Mercury occurred on March 16th, 1975. While no longer in communication, it is considered to be still orbiting the Sun.See more information at the relatedlink listed below:
