Detailed explanation-1: -NASA’s Mariner 2 was the first spacecraft to visit any planet beyond Earth when it flew past Venus on Dec. 14, 1962. Data gathered in a 42-minute scan forever changed how we see Earth’s closest neighbor.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Soviet probe, Venera 7 was the first probe to land on Venus. Unfortunately, it was put out of operation within an hour by Venus’ high temperature. In 1982, Venera 13 transmitted the first color pictures from Venus’ surface. The Orbiter of Pioneer Venus was launched on May 20, 1978.
