Jabarkan Kejayaan-kejayaan lain dari Perlumbaan Angkasa dalam bahasa melayu

Soviet merupakan negara pertama yang menghantar prob-prob planet, ke planet Zuhrah dan Marikh pada tahun 1960. Kapal angkasa pertama yang berjaya terbang melalui Zuhrah adalah Mariner 2, yang dihantar oleh A.S. pada 14 Disember 1962. Ia memberi keputusan yang mengejutkan berkenaan suhu permukaan yang tinggi dan ketumpatan udara di Zuhrah. Oleh kerana ia tidak memiliki kamera, penemuannya tidak mendapat perhatian orang ramai sepertimana imej-imej daripada prob angkasa, yang mana jauh melangkaui keupayaan teleskop ahli kaji bintang yang berpangkalan di bumi.

The first craft to land on Venus was the USSR's Venera 7, launched in 1971. Venera 9 then transmitted the first pictures from the surface of another planet. These were only two in the long Venera series; several other previous Venera spacecraft performed flyby and attempted landing missions. Seven other Venera landers followed.

Mariner 10, which flew by Venus on its way to Mercury, was launched in 1974 by the US. It became the first, and so far the only, spacecraft to fly by Mercury.

Mariner 4, launched in 1965 by the U.S., was the first to fly by Mars; it transmitted images that were completely unexpected. Although the first spacecraft on Mars was Mars 3, launched in 1971 by the USSR, it did not return pictures. The first such pictures were transmitted by the US Viking landers of 1976.

The U.S also sent Pioneer 10 on a successful fly by of Jupiter in 1973. This was a precursor to  the first flyby of Saturn in 1979 with Pioneer 11, and the first and only flybys of Uranus and Neptune with Voyager 2.
