	Viking program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		NASA's Viking program consisted of two unmanned space missions to Mars, Viking 1 and Viking 2.
		The Viking program grew from an NASA's earlier, and more ambitious Voyager Mars program, which was not related to the successful Voyager deep space probes of the late 1970s.
		Viking 1 was launched on August 20, 1975, and the second craft, Viking 2, was launched on September 9, 1975, both riding atop Titan III-E rockets with Centaur upper stages.

	Viking 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Viking 1 was the first of two spacecraft sent to Mars as part of NASA's Viking program.
		The Viking 1 Orbiter was inserted into Mars orbit on 19 June 1976 and trimmed to a 1513 x 33,000 km, 24.66 h site certification orbit on 21 June.
		On 7 August 1980 Viking 1 Orbiter was running low on attitude control gas and its orbit was raised from 357 x 33943 km to 320 x 56000 km to prevent impact with Mars and possible contamination until the year 2019.

	Viking program - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Each mission had a satellite designed to photograph the surface of Mars from orbit, and to act as a communication relay for the Viking lander that each mission carried.
		Viking 1 was launched on August 20, 1975, and the second craft, Viking 2, was launched on September 9, 1975.
		The primary objectives of the Viking orbiters were to transport the landers to Mars, perform reconnaissance to locate and certify landing sites, act as a communications relays for the landers, and to perform their own scientific investigations.

	Viking 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Viking 2 mission was part of the Viking program to Mars, and consisted of an orbiter and a lander essentially identical to that of the Viking 1 mission.
		The lander separated from the orbiter on September 3, 1976 and landed at Utopia Planitia at 22:37:50 UT. Normal operations called for the structure connecting the orbiter and lander (the bioshield) to be ejected after separation, but because of problems with the separation the bioshield was left attached to the orbiter.
		The Viking 2 Lander operated on the surface for 1281 Mars days and was turned off on April 11, 1980 when its batteries failed.

	ch6-8
		Despite being an enthusiastic supporter of the Viking project and wanting to pursue an aggressive program of unmanned planetary exploration, Thomas O. Paine, appointed administrator in March, began to preach fiscal restraint to the Viking managers as early as June 1969.
		He told John Naugle, his associate administrator for space science and applications, that Viking and the other advanced planetary projects would have to be managed wisely because NASA was living in an era of great pressures to reduce the budget.
		Although acknowledging that a new rationale for the American space program had to be sought - competition with the Soviet Union was no longer a realistic justification for NASA's activities-the task group rejected the idea that a manned mission to Mars in the 1980s should be the next great challenge accepted by the United States.

		Viking was, for the day, a relatively large rocket built by the Glenn L. Martin Company (one of the corporate ancestors of today's aerospace giant, Lockheed Martin).
		The Phase I version of the Viking weighed around 3,600 kilograms (8,000 pounds), was 81.3 centimeters (2.7 feet) in diameter and stood 12.8 to 14.6 meters (42 to 48 feet) tall depending on its payload.
		Considering the size of the program, it was felt that one of the regular divisions of the NRL was not capable of taking on such a task.

	NRL - Viking Program
		Viking embodied the successful, important innovations of a gimballed motor for steering and intermittent gas jets for stabilizing the vehicle after the main power cutoff.
		Through these Viking firings, NRL was first to measure temperature, pressure, and winds in the upper atmosphere and electron density in the ionosphere, and to record the ultraviolet spectra of the sun.
		On October 5, 1954, during a launching over New Mexico, a camera mounted in an NRL Viking rocket took the first picture of a hurricane and a tropical storm, from altitudes as high as 100 miles.

	Brittingham Viking Background and History
		The "Viking" program, although it was approaching the end of its planned 10-year course in 1962, did spawn another program.
		Since the Valiants attended all Viking functions, particularly the conventions, the distinction between the two groups soon disappeared, and the Valiants came to be known as the 9th and 10th Classes of Vikings.
		In 1960, the Vikings were looking for a way to express their appreciation for what Tom Brittingham had done for them and to contribute to his goal of improving Scandinavian-American relations.

		Viking mission planners liked it because it was flat and seemed to offer a safe landing spot.
		The Viking landers were successful in so many ways, but they may be remembered best as the first space probes to conduct on-the-spot biological tests for life on another planet.
		Since the Viking program, NASA's missions to Mars have included the ill-fated Mars Observer, the successful Mars Pathfinder lander and Sojourner rover, the prolific Mars Global Surveyor (still operating in orbit around Mars), and the Mars Climate Orbiter and Mars Polar Lander -- both of which failed as they neared the Red Planet.

	CNN.com - Debate on Mars life rages long after Viking - July 20, 2001
		Officially, NASA concluded that the Viking 1 and its sister ship the Viking 2, which landed on the other side of the planet weeks later, did not uncover signs of life after scooping, baking and dissecting the iron-rich soil.
		One matter that is not the subject of debate: The Viking twins were the most powerful spacecraft ever to land on another planet.
		Each Viking boasted an orbiter, a lander and a nuclear energy supply, allowing the satellites and ground ships to beam back data from the red planet for six years, unlike their contemporaries, which sputter out after months because they have less durable electrical supplies.
