The lander Mars 3 was the first man-made artifact to perform a soft touchdown to the Martian surface. The landing took place during a dust storm. The lander started to send the first picture from the landing surroundings, but the transmission failed after 14.5 seconds. The partially transmitted picture showed no details, probably caused by dust storm effects.
