Dear Wiki Questioner, The first spacecraft that visited the planet Mars was the "Mariner 4". It was launched by NASA in 1964 and simply flew past Mars, taking pictures and gathering information as it passed! The first spacecraft to LAND ON Mars were the "Mars 2" and "Mars 3" probes launched by the USSR in 1971. Unfortunately, both of these probes stopped functioning not long after landing on Mars. NASA's "Viking 1" lander was the first spacecraft to land on Mars and function for an extended period of time (6 years in fact).

The spacecraft that took 22 close-up pictures of Mars in 1965 was called Mariner 4. It was the first spacecraft to successfully fly by Mars and capture close-up images of the planet's surface.
It was Mars 2, from the Soviet Mars Lander Program.
