The paper reexamines the results obtained by Mars-2, -3, and -5 missions in 1974, which provided the first simultaneous measurements of plasma and magnetic field in Martian environment. It is shown that, in spite of the fact that the orbits of these missions were not particularly favorable for investigating the interactions of solar wind with Mars, the results obtained from the analysis of Mars data clearly show the existence of such features as a detached bow shock, a very thick tail with the downstream flow of planetary plasma, a high-altitude dayside obstacle to the solar wind flow with underlying cushion of planetary plasma imbedded in moderately strong magnetic field, and a boundary layer with traces of pick-up ions in the ionosheath. It is concluded that the information can be used for comparative analysis of the Phobos-2 data.
