  The long term dreams to approach Mars requires numerous spacecraft attempts
for exploration as well as to understand the perception of the red planet.
Before launching a mission, the space probe undergoes critical ground testing
and effective preparation. Though probes were carefully tested and validated,
many experiences temporary or permanent setbacks prior to their final state of
mission accomplishment, resulting in the failure of the mission. In order to
figure out the problems concerning probe malfunction or failure, we conducted a
study on failed Mars probes that are launched between 1960 to 2020. The probes
were characterized to determine various modes of failure and their impact on
the missions. The results of our study from past probes showed effective
integration and testing, sterling fabrication and validation of space probes,
adequate software design, feasible recovery options, and novel guidance to
probe computers and communication systems.
