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.
The robot sent to Venus was named Venera. Developed by the Soviet Union, the Venera program included several spacecraft that successfully landed on the planet and transmitted data back to Earth, providing valuable insights into Venus's atmosphere and surface conditions. The most notable missions included Venera 7, which was the first spacecraft to send data from the surface of another planet.
We use science, technology and some help from gravity.
They reverse one another in respect to the atmosphere.
Mariner 9 took on that spacecraft's mission of mapping 70 percent of the Martian surface in addition to its own objective of studying changes over time in the Martian atmosphere and surface.
Moon, protectorate, 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.
The Soviet Union sent spacecraft to Venus primarily during the 1960s and 1970s. The first successful mission was Venera 7, which landed on Venus in 1970, becoming the first spacecraft to transmit data from the surface of another planet. Subsequent missions, including Venera 9 and Venera 13, further explored and provided valuable information about Venus's atmosphere and surface.
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 name for a space shuttle is a spacecraft.
A spacecraft moving far out in space, away from Earth's atmosphere and gravitational pull, will continue on its trajectory indefinitely, assuming no other forces act upon it. In the vacuum of space, without significant gravitational influences or resistance, it will maintain its velocity due to Newton's first law of motion. However, if it encounters the gravitational field of another celestial body, its path may change due to gravitational attraction. Otherwise, it will remain in its current state until acted upon by another force.
Another word for Earth's air is atmosphere.
