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.

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.

By 1971 the USSR had switched to the more powerful and reliable Proton-K rocket, and Mars 2 and 3 were launched. On November 14, America's Mariner 9 became the first spacecraft to orbit another planet, beating Mars 2 by just 13 days.

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.

Its Mars 2 orbiter, which launched May 19, 1971, arrived on Nov. 2. However, when the Mars 2 lander was deployed it crashed, inoperable, on the surface. Mars 3, another orbiter and lander mission.

Mars 2 and Mars 3 were nearly identical missions -- each with its own orbiter module and descent/lander module -- launched just days apart on May 19 and May 28, 1971, and competing with.

At 00:18 UT Nov. 14, 1971, Mariner 9 ignited its main engine for 915.6 seconds to become the first human-made object to enter orbit around another planet. Initial orbital parameters were about 870 × 11,130 miles (1,398 × 17,916 kilometers) at a 64.3-degree inclination.

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.

In 1971, the former Soviet Union launched the Mars 2 and Mars 3 missions to Mars. Each consisted of an orbiter plus a lander. Both orbiter missions succeeded, although the surface of Mars was obscured by a planet-encircling dust storm. The Mars 2 lander crashed.
