There have been 46 (including gravity-assist flybys) space missions to the planet Venus. Missions to Venus constitute part of the exploration of Venus. The Soviet Union followed by the United States have soft landed probes on the surface. Venera 7 was the first lander overall and first for the Soviet Union, touching down on 15 December 1970. Pioneer Venus 2 contained the first spacecraft to land from the United States, the Day Probe. Soft landing on 9 December 1978.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]} The most recent lander was the part of the Vega 2 mission, which soft landed on 15 June 1985.

List

As of 2020, the Soviet Union, United States, European Space Agency and Japan have conducted missions to Venus.
