Apr 5, 2023 · Late last year, NASA pushed the VERITAS (or Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography and Spectroscopy) mission, originally scheduled to fly in 2027 to inaugurate the " Decade of...
- Mariner 2 — first successful Venus flyby (1962) Mariner 2 was the first successful mission not only to Venus, but to any other planet. It made a flyby of Venus on Dec.
- Venera 4 — atmosphere probe (1967) Venera 4 was a Soviet Union spacecraft that was the first to successfully transmit information from the atmosphere of Venus.
- Mariner 5 — flyby (1967) Mariner 5 was a NASA spacecraft that made its closest approach to Venus on Oct. 19, 1967. The spacecraft measured magnetic fields on Venus and in interplanetary space, and it examined charged particles, plasma (superheated gas), ultraviolet emissions and the amount by which radio waves are refracted in the atmosphere of Venus.
- Veneras 5 and 6 — atmosphere probes (1969) The Soviet Union's Venera 5 and 6 spacecraft were identical twin machines that each did successful flybys of Venus in 1969.
