They're cryovolcanoes, and I think they're found on Triton and Titan, and there's evidence that they're on Europa, too.

The Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrometer and a Remote Micro-Imager make up the ChemCam. The spectrometer supplies "elemental compositions" and the imager uses the data for the area around it and implements it into a geomorphologic concept.

First of all: Thank you so much, billyhoho, for reviving the thread! It was dead for months!

Anyway, your answer is correct, so it's your turn to ask a question.

In my research, I fould more then 5, but if you just want 5 of USSR's attempts to Mars, then here they are.

1. 1M No. 1, third stage failure, launched on 1960 Oct. 10
2. 1M No. 2, third stage failure, launched on 1960 Oct. 14
3. 2MV-4 No. 3, forth stage failure, launched on 1962 Oct. 24
4. 2MV-4 No. 4 (Mars-1), failed on it's way to Mars, launched on 1962 Nov. 1
5. 2MV-3 No. 1, stranded in the low Earth orbit, launched on 1962 Nov. 4
6...
7...
I found many others, but you only asked for five.
