This is a list of all spacecraft landings on other planets and bodies in the Solar System, including soft landings and both intended and unintended hard impacts. The list includes orbiters that were intentionally crashed, but not orbiters which later crashed in an unplanned manner due to orbital decay. Colour key:
This also interrupted the craft's attitude, causing the vehicle to accelerate towards the Earth and triggering an emergency reentry sequence. Due to the downward acceleration, the crew experienced an acceleration of 21.3 g rather than the nominal 15 g for an abort. Upon landing, the vehicle rolled down a hill and stopped just short of a high cliff.
The Soviet Scientific Commission ordered an inquiry into the alleged incident. According to Paul Kurtz writing in a 1990 volume of Skeptical Inquirer, the scientists in the Soviet Union who had studied the evidence included members of the "Voronezh Amateur Section for the Study of Abnormal Phenomena", who visited the site a week after the alleged event and used "a form of ESP dowsing".
Moon landing deniers say there's clear photographic evidence of this, and point out that because there's no breeze on the moon, this must be fake. Apollo 11astronaut Edwin Buzz Aldrin, on the Moon ...
(By the way, don't Google "Apollo 11 images" unless you're prepared to sort through pages of fake moon landing conspiracy websites.) The most famous one is this iconic picture of Aldrin below.
Comparison of landing ellipses of NASA Mars landers in 1997, 2008, 2012, and 2021, respectively. Shaded ellipses of Skylab's reentry on 1979-07-11. Included for purposes of comparison.
July 29: The recently docked Nauka space station module experienced a computer glitch that caused it to fire its thrusters, causing the space station to be rotated end-over-end one and a half times; a "spacecraft emergency" was called for the first time in the history of the program by flight director Zebulon Scoville.

The landing mishap ended a string of 267 successful booster recoveries dating back to February 2021. The Falcon 9's second stage, meanwhile, successfully carried 21 Starlink satellites to their ...
