Spacecraft that landed on mars in 1970?

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.


What are the names of the probes of mars?

Viking Lander 1 and Viking Lander 2 Yes, but there are more than that.


When did Viking 2 landed in the mars?

Viking 2 landed on Mars on August 7, 1976. It was the second of NASA's Viking program landers, following Viking 1, which had landed earlier that year. The mission aimed to search for signs of life and conduct a detailed study of the Martian surface and atmosphere. Viking 2 operated successfully for several years, sending back valuable data about the planet.


When did the Viking landers reach mars?

The Viking 1 lander reached Mars on July 20, 1976, followed by the Viking 2 lander on September 3, 1976. These missions marked the first successful landings on Mars and provided valuable data about the planet's surface and atmosphere.


Where did the Viking probes first land on Mars?

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.
