Mars Global Surveyor and Polar Lander
American spacecrafts have landed on the Moon and Mars. The Apollo missions landed on the Moon, while Mars rovers such as Curiosity and Perseverance have successfully touched down on the Martian surface.
I am not sure if by "space mission" You mean a mission to a distant object or into deep space or manned or unmanned. Voyager I and II are unmanned deep space missions, both launched in 1977. More than thirty years later they are both still running (as of today: March 10, 2010). The unmanned Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity were rover launched to Mars in 2004. Opportunity is still running fine but Spirit is stationary because two of its six main wheels have stalled. The Apollo Missions were manned moon missions in the nineteen-sixties and seventies. They were also very successful.
Humans have explored Mars and Venus with space probes. From Mars missions, scientists hope to learn about the planet's potential for past life, its climate history, and its geology, which may provide insights into Earth's own history. For Venus, missions aim to understand its extreme atmosphere, geological activity, and the possibility of past habitability, which can inform our understanding of planetary evolution and habitability in the solar system.
You may be talking about Apolo 13 or Space Shuttle Columbia in February 2003 which was damaged during a re-entry and broke apart. Those are two well knows space mission disasters. There have been a lot of space mission disasters though. I'm sure they're all documented by NASA down to the last detail. Apolo 13 did not end in disaster as it was a successful failure which basically means that they did not make it to the moon but got back to earth safely.
The two planets that are the closest to Mars is Earth and Jupiter.
Spirit and Opportunity are two.
Answer After Russia had several failures on their missions, two Viking probes entered orbit about Mars in 1976 and each released a lander module that made a successful soft landing on the planet's surface. The two missions returned the first color pictures and extensive scientific information.

I think because he was right!
Many have been sent, although only around a third of missions actually got there. However, the number that were sent is around 42, with several planned by various agencies for 2010-2011 and beyond.16 probes have gone to Mars.
The "Great Leap Forward" and the "Cultural Revolution," both which ended in failure.
It has been two shuttle missions that has ended with death. The first one was the space shuttle Challenger, it exploded about 73 seconds from the launch in 1986, and then it was the shuttle Columbia that was torn apart when they entered the earth atmosphere in 2003. All of the crew died in both of the "crashes".
The only two objects in space that humans have visited are the Moon and Mars. This was achieved through various manned missions, including the Apollo missions to the Moon and robotic missions like the Mars rovers.
The missions to Mars have included three separate stages, progressing with the technology of the times: 1. Flybys: This meant the satellites simply zoomed past the planet on it's projected course and took pictures, relaying them back to earth. The only flights that were successful were done by the US and are: Mariner 4 as well as Mariner 6 and 7. 2. Orbiters: These spacecrafts purpose is to actually be pulled into and stay in orbit of the planet in order to study it consistently for a global perspective. This allows scientist to observe Mars geology, climate, and mineralogy and map factors such as chemical elements in the atmosphere. The successful missions have been from the US, ESA and the USSR: Mariner 9, Mars 5 and 6, Viking 1 and 2, Mars Global Surveyor, 2001 Mars Odyssey, Mars Express (considered a success and failure) and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. 3. Landers and Rovers: In order to see what the surface is like as well as look for traces of water and search for either historic or current traces of cellular activity, these craft have gone from being stationary to moving across the planets surface. They often come attached to Orbiters and the two communicate between themselves in order to relay the information back to us. These missions have been: Viking 1 and 2, Pathfinder, Mars Exploration Rover 'Spirit' and 'Opportunity', Phoenix. The 'Mars Science Laboratory' should be arriving this month. Out of 39 missions from the US, USSR and one from Japan and one from the ESA, only 17 mission have been fruitful on collecting information from the planet Mars, most lost before ever leaving our own orbit.

The two spacecraft that successfully landed on Mars are NASA's Perseverance rover, which landed on February 18, 2021, and NASA's InSight lander, which landed on November 26, 2018. Both missions are designed to study different aspects of the Martian environment and geology.
