according to the Chinese Xinhua press agency an Indian Mars probe may be launched in 2013 or 2015, after Chandrayaan-2

Yeah -- I'm not sure where they get the line that the "US succeeded only in its sixth," when the first two American probes aimed at Mars were Mariners 3 and 4 -- and Mariner 3 didn't so much fail at Mars as it ended up on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, having failed to make its parking orbit. The next complete failure of an American Mars probe was Mariner 8, for the same reason as Mariner 3 -- it failed to reach orbit. In between those two failures, Mariners 4, 6 and 7 all completed their missions.

After Mariner 9's success, the next American failure was the Mars Observer, followed by the Mars Climate Orbiter and Mars Polar Lander (all of which were lost at or approaching Mars). All other American Mars missions have been rather highly successful. The actual American won-loss on Mars probes is 15 successes, 5 failures. This counts the Vikings as one mission each (you could make a case for them being 4 missions, two landers and two orbiters, but I just counted them as one each for a total of 2) and it counts MPL as one mission, not splitting out the Deep Space 2 hard landers. Basically, of 20 American launches to Mars, five have failed and 15 succeeded.

actually, M3 ended in a wrong solar orbit stuck under its aerodynamic shroud
