5 November 1964
The first Mars space probe expeditions that did not land on Mars were the Mariner missions, specifically Mariner 4, Mariner 6, and Mariner 7. These missions provided the first close-up images of Mars and valuable data about the planet's environment.
Mariner 4 went to Mars on Nov. 28, 1964 and came back to Earth on Jul. 14, 1965
The first spacecraft to visit Mars was Mariner 4. It was launched in 1964 and conducted a flyby of Mars in 1965, sending back the first close-up images of the planet's surface.
Mariner 9 was sent out by NASA to orbit Mars and study the planet's surface, atmosphere, and climate. It was the first spacecraft to orbit another planet and provided valuable data on Mars, including detailed images of the surface that revealed features like volcanoes and valleys.
The ones without success didn't reach mars, or they crashed onto 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.
Mariner 4 was the first ship to visit Mars.
The Mariner spacecraft were unmanned at launch.
Mariner 9 orbited Mars in November 13, 1971.
They were the Mariner 1 and Mariner 2 spacecrafts.
