The landing of Viking 1 in Chryse Planitia on July 20, 1976 provided the first opportunity to obtain measurements of atmospheric pressure directly from the surface of Mars. A computation was conducted to predict the atmospheric pressure at the landing site before the landing itself. The relative altitude between occultation points and the Viking 1 site was obtained with the aid of earth-based planetary radar data taken in 1967. The data cover Martian latitudes from 19 deg N to 24 deg N. The investigation indicates that the radio occultation results from Mariner 9 closely correspond to the actual surface pressure on Mars.
