Mariner 8 and Kosmos 419 and Mars 2-3 orbiter/ lander 1971

Mariner 8: US (flyby)

Failure reason launch failure.

Kosmos 419: USSR Failure

Reason Achieved earth orbit only.

Mars 2: USSR Failure

Reason Orbit arrived, but no useful data and Lander destroyed.

8 months of data obtained but only 20 seconds of data came back.

1973 mars4-7 orbit-lander/ lander

Mars 4: USSR failure Flew past mars. Mars 5 USSR success returned with sixty images:

only lasted 9 days. Mars 6 orbit/lander USSR success/failure Occultation

experiment produced data and land failure on descent

Mars 7 lander: USSR failure missed planet now in solar orbit.

1975 Viking 1and 2 orbit/ lander Viking 1 orbit/

lander US success

located landed site for lander and first successful landing on mars.
