Mars 1
Mars 1 was the first Soviet planetaty mission that was supposed to be prominent to the NASA missions. It was launched in 1962 and could have reached Mars even before the NASA missions left Earth. It disappeared at about half the distance Earth-Mars. Nobody really knows what happened to it.
The fact that the Soviet mission failed gave NASA some hope to win the Marsrace.
