.. . Only one space mission visited Venus in the past 20 years, by my count (T-shirt for corrections), but a number of probes made Venus-fly-bys on their way elesewhere -- does anybody have a complete list? I'm doing a pre-flight piece on Venus-Express. My favorite -- Mariner 10 - November 3, 1973 First spacecraft to use the gravitational pull of one planet (Venus) to reach another (Mercury). More than 4,000 photos of Venus taken on February 5, 1974 fly-by, at a distance of 4,200 kilometers (2,610 miles) http://www.solarviews.com/eng/marin10.htm gb |
