	Mars 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mars program was a series of Mars unmanned landers and orbiters launched by the Soviet Union in the early 1970s.
		The Mars 2 and Mars 3 missions consisted of identical spacecraft, each with an orbiter and an attached lander; they were the first human artifacts to touch down on Mars.
		Mars 2 lander had a small 4.5 kg Mars 'rover' on board, which would move across the surface on skis while connected to the lander with a 15-meter umbilical.

	Sputnik 24 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sputnik 24 (also known as Beta Xi 1, Korabl 13, and Mars 1962B) was an attempted Mars lander mission.
		The total mass of the booster/spacecraft complex (the Tyazheliy Sputnik) was roughly 6500 kg, the Mars spacecraft component comprising about 890 kg of this.
		The geocentric orbit of the presumed booster decayed on 25 December 1962 and the Mars spacecraft orbit decayed and it re-entered Earth's atmosphere on January 19, 1963.

		Mars 3's descent module was released at 09:14 UT on December 2 1971, 4 hours 35 minutes before reaching Mars.
		The 1973 Mars launch window was inefficient and thus the Proton rocket could not deliver the mass to Mars that year that had been possible in 1971.
		Mars 5 reached Mars on February 12 1974 at 15:45 UT and was inserted into an elliptical 1755 by 32,555 km, 24 h 53 min orbit with an inclination of 35.3 degrees.

		The Mars 2 through Mars 7 spacecraft were of a new, heavy design, weighing approximately 5 metric tons and requiring the Proton booster for launch.
		Mars 4, 5, 6, and 7 comprised an associated group of Soviet spacecraft launched towards Mars in July and August of 1973.
		Mars 96 was an orbiter launched in 1996 by Russia and not directly related to the Soviet series of probes.

		A third Mars probe mission in 1960 was believed for years to have been tied in to reports of a major rocket disaster, which the Soviets did not admit to officially, until a press release by Aleksandr Bolotin in the Soviet weekly magazine OGONYOK in April of 1989.
		MARS 1 was to have also sent back measurements on Mars' magnetic and radiation fields, cosmic radiation, micrometeoroid impacts, and even indications of organic compounds on the planet using a "spectroreflexometer" device.
		MARS 7 was the first of the flyby/lander probes to arrive, the bus ejecting its lander towards the planet on March 9, 1974.
