The exploration of Mars has been an important part of the space exploration programs of the Soviet Union. Dozens of robotic spacecrafts, including orbiters,landers and rovers have launched towards Mars since These missions were aimed at gathering data about current conditions and answering questions about the history of Mars. The exploration of mars has come at a considerable financed cost with roughthly two thirds of all spacecraft destined for Mars failing before even completing their missions.

MOON EXPLORATION The physical exploration of the moon began when the Luna two, the space probe launched by the soviet union, impacted the surface of the moon on September 1959.Crossing the gap between the earth and the moon takes three days. During the 1960’s,Nasa put huge amounts of time and money into preparing its crewed lunar mission called the Apollo programme.Astronaughts trained in orbit aboard the one Man Mercury and the two man Gemini spacecraft while engineers on the ground designed a three part spacecraft to carry the astronaughts to the moon, and built huge Saturn V rockets 111 metres (363 feet) high to launch.
