OTD 1972, the Russian #Mars2 mission did reach Mars, but failed due to an unanticipated sand storm on the surface. Reprogramming was impossible at that stage, so the lander was deployed too soon. It misaligned and crashed.
Sadly, the identically constructed #Mars3 met with a similar fate only a couple of days later. But: Its lander didn't crash. It performed the first controlled landing ever on Mars, through the sand storm, before falling silent after just a couple of seconds.
