2 events here, 1972 to 1977, in date order.
NASA's Pioneer 10 launched carrying an aluminum plaque showing a man and a woman, the solar system and the Sun's position relative to 14 pulsars, so that any intelligent finder could tell where and when the craft came from.
Voyager 2, the first of NASA's two Voyager probes to launch, carried a gold-plated copper record with images, natural sounds, music and greetings in 55 languages, meant to tell any spacefaring finder about life on Earth. Voyager 1 followed weeks later with a copy.
