The main purpose was to study and photograph the surface. The landers also performed experiments to try to test for the possibility of life. The information and images received was enourmous and most of the information known about Mars for the next two and a half decades had come from the little over six year life of the probes.
The Viking 1 and Viking 2 were sent to Mars to study the surface of Mars.
Viking Lander 1 and Viking Lander 2 Yes, but there are more than that.
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.
Viking 1 was launched on August 20, 1975, and the second craft, Viking 2, was launched on September 9, 1975
Mars. Viking 1 and Viking 2 both landed on the planets surface in 1976.
The NASA Viking 1 and 2 probes were targeted to two specific regions on Mars.- Viking 1 landed on July 20, 1976 on the "Golden Plain" (Chryse Planitia) about 22° north of the Martian equator.- Viking 2 landed on September 3, 1976 on the "Utopia Planitia" plain in the northern mid-latitudes, on the opposite side of Mars from Viking 1.

The Viking 1 and Viking 2 missions consisted of both an orbiter and a lander. The lander landed on the surface of Mars to collect data and images.

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.
