The Full Story
Venera 9 returned the first images ever taken from the surface of another planet on 22 October 1975. The lander touched down on Venus and survived long enough to send a black-and-white panorama back to Earth. Those images were the first direct look at the Venusian surface, showing a rocky landscape under extreme heat and pressure. Venera 9 proved that soft landing and imaging on another planet were possible.
