Strips of Viking mapping pictures are being added to the planetwide control networks of Mars. These high resolution strips run from the Viking 1 lander site east to Airy-O, north along the 0 deg meridian to 60 deg latitude, southwest through the Viking 1 lander site to the equator, and along the equator encircling the planet. Everywhere along these strips, old points are incorporated in the measurements, thus assuring that the strips and planetwide net make a single large data set. The control points are much denser in the areas covered by the strips than in those regions not covered by strips and their coordinates of the control points is estimated to be less than 3 km and the error in longitude of a few points near Airy-O is less than 40 m. The horizontal coordinates of the control points on Mars have been updated with a single-block planetwide analytical triangulation. The standard error of measurement was 18.06 micron m. The longitude of the Viking 1 lander site was 47 deg.962 and the latitude 22 deg. 480. The latitude of Airy-O was -5 deg. 152.
