Detection of Metabolically Produced Labeled Gas: The Viking Mars Lander
A qualitative, nonspecific method will test for life on Mars in 1976 by supplying radioactive substrates to samples of the planetary surface material. If microorganisms are present, they may assimilate one or more of the simple labeled compounds and produce radioactive gas. The compounds have been selected on the basis of biological theory and terrestrial results. The measurement of radioactive...
متن کاملThe geology of the Viking Lander 2 site revisited
Reevaluating the geologic history of the prior Mars landing sites provides important ground truth for recent and ongoing orbital missions. At the Viking 2 Lander (VL2) site, topographic measurements of relict landforms indicate that at least 100 m of sedimentary mantle material has been stripped away. The observed paucity of impact craters <100 m in diameter suggests that resurfacing processes ...
متن کاملConvective Vortices on Mars: a Reanalysis of Viking Lander
Introduction: On 7 August 1976 the Viking 2 lander touched down at Utopia Planitia, Mars. Both Viking lander’s primary aim was to look for the presence of organic life on the surface of Mars. The lander also had a comprehensive meteorological package to monitor the martian conditions. The meteorological package included pressure, temperature, and wind sensors, enabling the landers to perform th...
متن کاملViking Lander 1 and 2 Revisited: the Characterisation and Detection of Martian Dust Devils
Introduction: During the summer of 1976 Viking Lander 1 and 2 touched down at Chryse Planitia and Utopia Planitia, Mars respectively. The primary aim of both Viking Landers was to look for the presence of organic life on the surface of Mars, however each Lander also had a comprehensive meteorological package to monitor the martian atmospheric conditions [1]. The meteorological package consisted...
