The Mars Observer project was conceived by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in the early 1980's as the first of a series of missions that would utilize commercially available earth orbital spacecraft adapted for deep space use. The spacecraft failed catastrophically on August 22, 1993, three days before reaching Mars.
