While intended to parachute to the surface of #Venus, the #Venera3 space probe from the #USSR crashed onto that planet's surface on #ThisDayInHistory in 1966. It is still the first spacecraft to reach the surface of another planet. The US has not attempted soft landing on Venus.

The first Earth spacecraft to reach the surface of another planet was launched on #ThisDayInHistory in 1965. The #Soviet probe #Venera3 hit #Venus on 1 March 1966. The failure of systems to operate fully was investigated and later probes touched down correctly and returned data.
