Scientific paper
Two unmanned automated Viking spacecraft are to study the planet Mars. One spacecraft will be launched in August and the other in September 1975. The Viking spacecraft will make basically three investigations, including a photographic survey of Mars, a search for forms of life, and an analysis of the physical features of the planet and its atmosphere. Each Viking spacecraft has an orbiter and a lander. Details of the search for life to be conducted with equipment carried by the landers to the Martian surface are discussed along with questions concerning the other investigations and the instruments of the spacecraft. Attention is also given to problems of communication and data transmission.
