The "Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter" was sent to Mars in August 2005, arriving there in 2006.
The probe "Mars Science Laboratory" and its rover, Curiosity, were launched on November 26, 2011 and were scheduled to arrive at Mars in August, 2012.
the first spacecraft to explore mars is the mariner 4
The first spacecraft to land successfully on Mars was Viking 1 in 1975
First ever satellite to land on the planet Mars was a Russian probe called Mars 2. Albeit it did not land but crashed. The first successful probe to land on Mars was Mars 3 sent by the Russians, however the probe was operational for 15 minutes after landing on Mars. The first American probe to land on Mars was the Viking 1 on the 20th of July 1976.
No humans have visited Mars yet. Only robotic spacecraft, like the Mars rovers, have been sent to explore the planet.
Yes, NASA has sent several spacecraft to Mars, including the Mars rovers (e.g. Curiosity, Perseverance) and orbiters (e.g. Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, MAVEN). These missions have helped study the geology, climate, and potential for past life on Mars.

The first spacecraft to fly by Mars was Mariner 4 on Jul,14, 1965 (launched Nov,28,1964). Mariner 4 sent 21 photos.

The name of the spacecraft is, rather anticlimactically, "New Horizons".
Yes. The information photographed of the earth moon orbit is invaluable to forecasting climate change. This can be done by spacecraft going to mars.
A rescue mission sure can be sent, but such a rescue mission can be horribly expensive. However, it depends where the stranded spacecraft is; if it is a mission on its way to Mars, for example, any such rescue mission is likely to arrive too late.
The ''Mars Lander''
The Mars Rover has explored Mars and "Spirit" is the spacecraft that was sent on November 2011 and is going to Mars.
