Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Russian Venera spacecraft were the only ones to successfully land on Venus. The Venera program sent several probes to Venus, with the first successful landing occurring in 1970. The Venera 7 probe transmitted data for about 23 minutes before its instruments failed due to the extreme conditions on Venus. The last probe in the Venera program, Venera 14, landed on Venus in 1981. The Russian Venera program successfully landed spacecraft on Venus multiple times between 1970 and 1982, making it the only spacecraft to successfully land on Venus. ESA's Giotto and NASA's Viking and Magellan spacecraft were all designed for missions to other planets in the solar system, while NASA's Venus Rovers were proposed missions that were never launched.
