Soviet Mars probe goes silent after brief signals
Tass reports the Mars 3 lander sent only brief signals before the television feed stopped amid hurricane force dust storms. The robot detached from Mars 3 on December 2 after an 188 day journey, with the mother ship orbiting 930 miles above. Western observers doubt the landing succeeded and Mars 2 earlier crashed in a separate attempt. American Viking missions are planned to search for life after July 1976.
