Best Answer

There have been several "unmanned" spaceships, but none unnamed.

The USSR, buoyed by several successful Earth-orbiting spacecraft, had ambitious attempts at Mars and Venus from 1960 to 1962. Any that were not a partial success were labeled as a Sputnik, or later a Cosmos, as opposed to a Korabl probe name.

Later, both the Soviets and NASA sent probes to Mars in pairs, so that despite the failure of Mariner 3, Mariner 4 flew past Mars on July 14, 1965, providing the first close-up photographs of another planet. Similarly, Mariner 9 was the Survivor of the 8/9 pair, and became the first probe to orbit Mars on November 13, 1971, just two weeks ahead of the Soviet Mars 2 and its twin Mars 3, the latter being the first to land a probe on Mars on December 2, 1971. It failed 14 seconds after landing and its rover did not deploy.
