OTD in 1965, the Soviet Union launched Venera 3. It landed on Venus on March 1, 1966, making it the first spacecraft to land on another planet. But communications systems failed before planetary data could be returned; Venera 4 in 1967 would change that. https://t.co/wEgJ9TcLVt https://t.co/MeZxt5OMuM — PolitiTweet.org
