Relevant aspects of the design and function of the two-window Viking Landing Camera system are described, with particular reference to some results of its operation on Mars during the Viking mission. A major feature of the system is that the optical tunnel between the lens and the photosensor array contains a multiaperture baffle designed to reduce veiling glare and to attenuate radio frequency interference from the lander antennas. The principle of operation of the contour mode is described. The accuracy is limited by the stereo base, resolution of camera picture elements, and geometric calibration. To help determine the desirability as well as the safety of possible sample sites, use is made of both radiometric and photogrammetric information for each picture element to combine high-resolution pictures with low-resolution color pictures of the same area. Explanatory photographs supplement the text.
