Take on Mars Finding the Russian Mars 3 probe from 1971 YouTube
Mars 3 was a robotic space probe of the Soviet Mars program, launched May 28, 1971, nine days after its twin spacecraft Mars 2.The probes were identical robotic spacecraft launched by Proton-K rockets with a Blok D upper stage, each consisting of an orbiter and an attached lander.After the Mars 2 lander crashed on the Martian surface, the Mars 3 lander became the first spacecraft to attain a.

NASA spacecraft enters Mars orbit
Mars 2 was successfully launched on 19 May 1971. It reached successfully a 18 hour Mars orbit of 1380 km × 24940 km, inclined 48.9°.. 19 hours) orbit about Mars. The lander performed the first soft landing on Mars on 2 December 1971. Although the landing was successful, signals were only recived for 14.5 seconds after landing, possibly due.

The descent module was separated from the orbiter on 27 November 1971 about 4.5 hours before reaching Mars. After entering the atmosphere at approximately 6 km/sec, the descent system on the module malfunctioned, possibly because the angle of entry was too steep. The descent sequence did not operate as planned and the parachute did not deploy.

Nasa photos reveal Mars 'crash site' of Soviet spacecraft that went dark in 1971 Daily Mail Online
The Mars 2 was an uncrewed space probe of the Mars program, a series of uncrewed Mars landers and orbiters launched by the Soviet Union beginning 19 May 1971. The Mars 2 and Mars 3 missions consisted of identical spacecraft, each with an orbiter and an attached lander. The orbiter is identical to the Venera 9 bus. The type of bus/orbiter is the 4MV. They were launched by a Proton-K heavy.

Two robotic rovers reached the surface of Mars in 1971 during the Soviet Mars 2 and 3 missions, Dr. Alexander Kermurjian has revealed exclusively to The Planetary Report. Neither vehicle completed its mission: Mars 2 crash-landed on the planet and Mars 3 ceased transmissions 20 seconds after landing.

Mars 2 released the descent module (71-045D) 4.5 hours before reaching Mars on 27 November 1971. The descent module entered the martian atmosphere at roughly 6.0 km/s at a steeper angle than planned. The descent system malfunctioned and the lander crashed at 45 deg S, 313 deg W, delivering the Soviet Union coat of arms to the surface.
