Did Venus have any robots or satellites explore it?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, Venus has had a few visitors! There have been multiple missions by NASA and other space agencies that have sent probes and landers to explore Venus. The Soviet Union even landed a few spacecraft on Venus back in the day. So, yeah, Venus has definitely had some robotic guests over the years.

Answer 2

The USSR sent several probes to Venus, mainly in the "Venera" series. Some

managed to land , but did not survive very long.

More recently there's been the "Magellan" and "Venus Express" satellites.

Answer 3

Yes. Jupiter was first visited on flyby missions by Pioneer 10 in 1973 and by Pioneer 11 in 1974. The space probe Ulysses encountered Jupiter when it was placed in a large orbit around the sun in 1992. It made a later encounter in 2004. The Galileo probe orbited Jupiter from 1995 until 2003 when its mission ended with a burn into the planet's atmosphere. Galileo sent an atmospheric probe to Jupiter in 1995.

In 2000 the space probe Cassini flew by Jupiter for a gravitational slingshot on its way to Saturn (which it reached in 2004) and took joint measurements of Jupiter with Galileo.

Finally in 2007 the New Horizons space probe took some readings of Jupiter as it executed a slingshot around the planet while on its way to Pluto.

Answer 4

Yes, there have been several missions to explore Venus using both robotic spacecraft and satellites. Some notable missions include NASA's Magellan orbiter, which mapped the planet's surface using radar, and the Soviet Union's Venera landers, which successfully landed on Venus and transmitted data back to Earth. Currently, NASA has plans for a mission called VERITAS, which aims to orbit Venus and map its surface in high resolution.

Answer 5

The U.S.A and Soviet Union have sent many probes, including the Venera series, which were the first human made objects to go beyond the Earth's atmosphere and land on another planet.

Answer 6

Voyager 2 is the only probe to have visited Neptune.

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

No
