it was lost due to faulty measurements
The Mars satellite that crashed on Mars was the Mars Climate Orbiter. It crashed in 1999 due to a navigational error caused by a mix-up of imperial and metric unit systems during the spacecraft's mission.
One of the unsuccessful missions to Mars was the Mars Climate Orbiter, launched by NASA in 1998. The mission failed in September 1999 due to a navigation error caused by a mix-up between metric and imperial units.
It failed - due to a discrepancy in the positional calculations, caused by a piece of faulty computer software.
Some data was reported in Imperial units instead of the usual metric units. Because of this, the orbiter went down to an altitude of 57 km above Mars instead of 140-150 km. It was destroyed by the atmosphere as it was not designed for atmospheric flight.
Probably, if we survive a climate disaster that threatens us if we continue to pollute the Earth at this pace.

The Mars Climate Orbiter
The Mars Climate Orbiter disappeared in 1999 due to a navigation error that caused it to enter Mars' atmosphere at the wrong angle and burn up.
The two missions to Mars that ended in failure are the Mars Climate Orbiter in 1999, which crashed due to a navigation error, and the Mars Polar Lander in 1999, which likely crashed during its descent.

Umm i think because when Darcy Martinez.made the metric system

On September 23, 1999, NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter was unintentionally destroyed. The spacecraft was launched on December 11, 1998. A minor calculation error had it enter the orbital pattern of Mars at an altitude that was lower than expected. It disintegrated due to atmospheric stress when it entered at this incorrect position.
Some data was reported in Imperial units instead of the usual metric units. Because of this, the orbiter went down to an altitude of 57 km above Mars instead of 140-150 km. It was destroyed by the atmosphere as it was not designed for atmospheric flight.
Mars has constantly been visited by spacecrafts. The first spacecraft to visit Mars was the Mariner 4. After that Mars has been visited by numerous spacecrafts like: Mars Pathfinder, Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Odyssey, Mars Express and the Mars 2 which was the first spacecraft to land on Mars.
It was a 1971 Mars Orbiter.
