Japan and China each launched their first satellites in 1970, bringing the total number of nations with independent launch capability to five.

Apollo 13 was launched; after suffering an explosion in deep space it had to circumnavigate the moon and use the LM as a life boat. Apollo 13 was a successful disaster in which the crew survived. The Soviet space program continued its Luna program withLuna 17, which delivered the roboticLunokhod 1 rover to the lunar surface, andLuna 16, which achieved the firstuncrewed lunarsample return. The Soviets also continued the success of the Venera Venus probes withVenera 7, the first man-made spacecraft to successfully land on another planet and to transmit data back to Earth, though it only survived 23 minutes on the surface.
