The Viking Project will launch two unmanned spacecraft to Mars in 1975 for scientific exploration with special emphasis on the search for life. Each spacecraft will consist of an orbiter and a lander. The landing site will be selected after the spacecraft is in orbit. Twelve investigations will be performed: three mapping experiments from the orbiter, one atmospheric experiment during the lander entry phase, seven analytical experiments on the surface of the planet, and one using the spacecraft radio and radar systems. The experiments on the surface will deal principally with biology, geology, and meteorology. Sixty-three scientists have been selected for the twelve teams.
