T O P I C R E V I E WcklofasI have just received a Russian pin for Xmas. It is about 1/2 " square with 2 white rockets zooming toward a red planet on a black backround. Saturn is depicted to the left of the rockets' contrails. There is an inscription "MAPC-2 MAPC-3"in the lower right hand corner. Anyone have an idea what this item is ?David StephensonHi,i have this pin and i think it is for the Mars 2 and 3.Mars 3lauched on May 28th 1971 and was an orbiter and lander and sent back photos and data,dont know about Mars 2.DavidDavid StephensonHello again,i just looked up the Mars 2 and 3 in a book of mine.Mars 2 vanished without trace but a global dust storm was raging upon its arrival time.Mars 3 was responsible for the first martian broadcast but after starting to transmit a picture it stopped after 20 seconds.David
