The extended mission of the Viking project emphasizing the study of weather on Mars is presented. Samples were acquired for the analysis of surface material, and investigations were made of the physical and magnetic properties of the surface, with orbiters and landers producing large quantities of photographs of the surface and of atmospheric phenomena. The operation and chronology of Viking Orbiter 1 and 2 and Viking Lander 1, including the Viking continuation, the survey, and the orbiter completion missions are discussed.
