Most of them were launched by the Soviet Union Space Program, including the Mars 1960A craft launched on October 10 1960 and the Mars 1960B launched October 14 1960, both of which failed to reach Earth orbit. The Mars 1962A launched by the Soviet Union on October 24, 1962 exploded en route to Earth orbit. The Mars 1962B launched November 11, 1962 broke up during transfer to Mars trajectory, and the Mars 1 launched June 19, 1963 lost contact while en route approximately 193,000 kilometers of Mars. Meanwhile, the United States Mariner 3 launched by NASA November 5 1964 had a protective shield that failed to eject, preventing the craft from attaining correct trajectory. </li></ul> <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Episode(s)</h2> <ul><li data-rte-spaces-before="1"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Smile%2C%20You%27re%20on%20Mars%20Camera%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Smile%2C%20You%27re%20on%20Mars%20Camera%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BSmile%2C%20You%27re%20on%20Mars%20Camera%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="200544-1029106765f60ae81ccf4b" href="/wiki/Smile,_You%27re_on_Mars_Camera" title="Smile, You're on Mars Camera">Smile, You're on Mars Camera</a> </li></ul> <hr / data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"> <p /> Loading editor Objects Pages Missing Images Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes.
