Mars Global Surveyor
That statement is incorrect. Mariner 2 was the first spacecraft to successfully fly by and study another planet, Venus, not scan. It provided valuable data on Venus' atmosphere and surface temperature.
Mariner 2 flew past the planet Venus in 1962, becoming the first spacecraft to successfully encounter another planet. It provided valuable information about Venus's atmosphere and surface temperature.
We use science, technology and some help from gravity.
They reverse one another in respect to the atmosphere.
Mariner 2 in 1962. The planet was Venus.
The first spacecraft to orbit another planet was Mariner 9, which orbited Mars in 1971.
Yes, another word for satellite is "spacecraft."
A spacecraft takes off using rocket propulsion, where engines generate enough thrust to overcome Earth's gravity. The spacecraft accelerates vertically until it reaches a high enough velocity to escape the Earth's atmosphere and enter orbit or travel to another celestial body.

forfeit, concede
What makes the space shuttles different than other space craft is that they are reusable. Most spacecraft are used one time, then disposed of. The Russian Soyuz and the American Apollo spacecraft are examples of this. Another difference is the way they return to Earth. After other spacecraft reenter Earth's atmosphere, they deploy parachutes and make water landings (US Apollo), or land in snow (Russian Soyuz). The space shuttle lands like an airplane.
Another name for a space shuttle is a spacecraft.
the first encounter with another planet. it was a spacecraft sent by NASA to venus. it measured venus' temperature and is now thought to be orbiting the sun.
Another word for Earth's air is atmosphere.

To tie up a spacecraft in space, astronauts can use specialized mechanisms like docking ports or robotic arms to secure the spacecraft to another structure, like a space station or another spacecraft. These systems are designed to provide a secure connection and stability in the weightless environment of space. Astronauts may also use tethers or cables to ensure the spacecraft remains in position.
