THE MARS CURSE by Janet Spencer
It’s tough to get to Mars. About half of the 50 or so missions, originating from a variety of countries, have ended in failure. Come along as we remember failures and successes.
EARLY EFFORTS
• There is currently one lander in operation on Mars (InSight), along with three rovers (Curiosity, Perseverance, and China’s Zhurong) and 8 orbiting satellites. It was a long hard road to get here, with the Soviets having a particularly hard time. The long list of failures became known as the Mars Curse. • Between 1960 and 1962, the Soviets launched 5 missions to Mars, and all failed. One of the most heartbreaking was the Mars 1, which sailed towards Mars for five months, making it 65.9 million miles before its radio failed and communication permanently ceased. • In 1964, NASA gave it a try with Mariner 3 but that also failed shortly after launch when the solar panels failed to function properly and the batteries died as the ground crew was frantically trying to fix the problem. • Three weeks later, the launch of NASA’s Mariner 4 became the first successful mission to Mars, a flyby that took the first close up images of the planet, sending back 22 images which showed the atmosphere was much thinTurn the page for more! ner than expected.
