NASA's Viking 1 and Viking 2 landed on Mars in 1976.
The 1976 unmanned spacecraft that took pictures of Mars was called Viking 1. The Viking program consisted of two spacecraft, Viking 1 and Viking 2, which both successfully landed on Mars and sent back a wealth of images and data about the planet's surface. These missions provided important insights into Mars' geology, weather, and potential for past or present life.
The "Face on Mars" was a formation captured by Viking 1's camera, but further imaging by spacecraft like the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter showed it to be an eroded mesa. It was a trick of light and shadow that created the illusion of a face, and subsequent images have debunked the idea of it being a man-made structure.
The Viking 1 and Viking 2 spacecraft took pictures of Mars in 1976 as part of NASA's Viking program. These missions were the first to successfully land and operate on the surface of Mars, providing valuable data and images of the planet.
NASA's Viking Mission to Mars was composed of two spacecraft, Viking 1 and Viking 2, each consisting of an orbiter and a lander. The primary mission objectives were to obtain high resolution images of the Martian surface, characterize the structure and composition of the atmosphere and surface, and search for evidence of life. Viking 1 was launched on August 20, 1975 and arrived at Mars on June 19, 1976.

Mars had a spacecraft land on it in 1976. NASA's Viking 1 lander successfully landed on Mars on July 20, 1976, followed by its companion, Viking 2, a few weeks later. This marked the first successful landing of a spacecraft on Mars.
