Mariner 9 orbited Mars in November 13, 1971.
Mariner 3 and 4were the first i believe but failed. Mariner 9 was launched successfully on May 30, 1971, and became the first artificial satellite of Mars when it arrived and went into orbit.
Mariner 9 was launched successfully on May 30, 1971. This made it the first artificial satellite of Mars when it arrived and went into orbit.
Mariner 4 (USA) was the first successful fly by mission, which was launched in 1964. Mariner 9 (USA) was the first probe to orbit another planet (Mars) when it entered into orbit around Mars on November 14, 1971. Mars 2 & 3(USSR) were the first probes to "land" on Mars - probably crashed in 1971 Viking 1 & 2 (USA) were the first probes to successfully land in 1976. See related link for more information.
The Mars orbit path is counterclockwise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :/

The Mariner 9.
November 30, 1971
May 19 - Mars probe program: Mars 2 is launched by the Soviet Union.May 30 - Mariner program: Mariner 9 is launched toward Mars.Nov 13 - Mariner program: Mariner 9 becomes the first spacecraft to enter Mars orbit successfully.
It didn't, it flew by Venus October 19, 1967.

Mariner 4 was the first ship to visit Mars.
None, since satellites don't "land", they orbit. There are 6 landers and rovers on the Martian surface, 2 of which were lost at arrival. NASA reports 3 types of Martian Exploration missions: (1) Fly-by missions: Mariner 3, Mariner 4, Mariner 6, Mariner 7 (2) Orbiter missions (the satellites): Mariner 8, Mariner 9, Viking 1, Viking 2, Mars Observer, Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Climate Orbiter, 2001 Mars Odyssey, Mars Express, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (3) Lander and Rover missions: Viking 1 Lander, Viking 2 Lander, Pathfinder Rover, Polar Lander (lost), Deep Space 2 (lost), Spirit Rover, Opportunity Rover, Phoenix Mars Science Laboratory Rover is scheduled to launch in 2011.
