1975, I believe, though I am not 100% sure.
Viking-II is a Mars Rover.
viking 1 and viking 2
They were rover missions to Mars.
NASA's Viking 1 and Viking 2 landed on Mars in 1976.
The first man made probes to successfully land on the surface of Mars were two Soviet probes; Mars 2 on November 27 and Mars 3 on December 2, 1971, but both ceased communicating within seconds of landing. The NASA Viking program had two landers; Viking 1 remained operational for six years, Viking 2 for three years after their 1976 landing.

1976.
Viking 1 and Viking 2 landed on Mars in 1976 and Mars Pathfinder (and the Mars rover Sojourner) landed on Mars in 1997 and are still up there moving and functioning today.
The Viking Space Probe was actually two different probes. Viking 1 and Viking 2 were used to explore Mars. The probes took photographs, did experiments and deployed instruments to the surface of Mars.
Viking 1 was launched on August 20, 1975, and the second craft, Viking 2, was launched on September 9, 1975. Viking 1 entered Mars orbit on June 19, 1976. The Viking 1 touched down on the surface of Mars on July 20, 1976, and was joined by the Viking 2 on September 3.
Nothing of significance. Viking 1 and Viking 2 landed in 1976 and after that there were no Mars missions until 1988.
