Unsuccessful Missions by Roscosmos

Explore Roscosmos' unsuccessful space missions. Revealing valuable insights from their endeavors in space exploration

Started in 2011 to explore Mars' moon Phobos and collect soil samples, the mission got stranded in Earth's orbit due to propulsion issues. It re-entered Earth's atmosphere in January 2012, crashing into the Pacific Ocean

Launched in 1996, Mars 96 was a Russian mission designed to study Mars, but it failed shortly after launch due to a rocket failure, leading to its re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. Debris from the spacecraft fell into the Pacific Ocean.

In April 2015, a Progress resupply spacecraft destined for the International Space Station (ISS) suffered a malfunction in its third stage and ended up in an uncontrolled spin. It finally burned up as it re-entered Earth's atmosphere.

Before the Phobos-Grunt mission, there was a previous attempt named Phobos-Soil (Fobos-Soil), which was launched in 1996. It also experienced technical issues shortly after launch and did not reach its intended trajectory to Mars' moon Phobos.
