Scientific paper

This video gives a historical survey of philosophy and scientific study of the nature of the surface of Mars and discussion of whether life existed or exists on Mars. Several Lewis researchers recount early telescope observations of Mars including the identification of 'channels' or possible ancient waterways on the surface. An overview of the accomplishments of the Mariner spacecraft in mapping the surface of Mars as well as a detailed description of the Viking missions to Mars are presented. The results of the Viking Biology Experiment, conducted by the Viking Lander, are highlighted. There is also a discussion of the possible presence of monuments and a huge 'face' on the Martian surface. The video includes several computer simulations of flight over the Martian surface.
