What planet had a spacecraft land on it in 1976?
Mars had a spacecraft land on it in 1976. NASA's Viking 1 lander successfully landed on Mars on July 20, 1976, followed by its companion, Viking 2, a few weeks later. This marked the first successful landing of a spacecraft on Mars.
Spacecraft that landed on mars in 1970?
The first man made probes to successfully land on the surface of Mars were two Soviet probes; Mars 2 on November 27 and Mars 3 on December 2, 1971, but both ceased communicating within seconds of landing. The NASA Viking program had two landers; Viking 1 remained operational for six years, Viking 2 for three years after their 1976 landing.
What was the spacecraft used to carry out the mission Viking 1?
Martin Marietta was the principal contractor. The project was managed from Langley, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), in Pasadena, Calif., was responsible for the orbiters and would later manage the science mission.
Was apollo8 successful?
Yes, the Apollo 8 mission of December 1968 was a success. It had the first manned spacecraft to leave earth orbit, the first manned spacecraft to reach the moon and to orbit another celestial body; enabled the first direct views of the far side of the moon, and generated one of spaceflights most famous photographs, that of earthrise during lunar orbit. It paved the way for remaining missions in the Apollo program including the later lunar landing of Apollo 11. The three crew, Borman, Lovell and Anders, completed mission objectives and returned safely to Earth.
What is the Name of the first spacecraft that visited planet mars?
Dear Wiki Questioner, The first spacecraft that visited the planet Mars was the "Mariner 4". It was launched by NASA in 1964 and simply flew past Mars, taking pictures and gathering information as it passed! The first spacecraft to LAND ON Mars were the "Mars 2" and "Mars 3" probes launched by the USSR in 1971. Unfortunately, both of these probes stopped functioning not long after landing on Mars. NASA's "Viking 1" lander was the first spacecraft to land on Mars and function for an extended period of time (6 years in fact).
