First Robot Viking I Lands on Mars Viking
I landed on Mars to explore the surface of the Red Planet. The first robots on
Mars, Viking I and its successor gave scientists their first information about
the planet's surface, including information they hoped would allow people to
walk there. Although the Viking probes found no evidence of life on Mars, they
returned detailed pictures of the planet and information about the soil's
composition.
