Scientific paper

Engineering problems encountered early in the mission of Viking Lander 1 are discussed. These include the refusal of the seismometer to uncage itself, failure of the low-gain No. 1 receiver, and trouble in retracting the surface-sampler boom. The way in which the boom problem was overcome is described in detail. It is noted that the seismometer was rendered virtually inoperable and that the low-gain receiver could not be coaxed back into operation.
