Malfunction protection requires redundancy planning and mechanization in Viking lander design and systems integration in order to maximize the chance of getting the data back through the Orbiter. Various subsystems are discussed that protect the downlink to man on the ground in the framework of systems integration and insure the basic objectives of Viking: to land on a planet and to acquire data from its surface.
