Viking 1 was launched on August 20, 1975, and the second craft, Viking 2, was launched on September 9, 1975
In 1976 - None, ditto 1977, 1978, 1979 and all the other years.
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.
The purpose of the Viking 1 and Viking 2 missions, which were launched by NASA in 1975, was to search for signs of life on Mars. These missions consisted of a combination of orbiters, landers, and instruments designed to analyze the Martian surface and atmosphere for potential biological activity.
The Viking Space Probes did not go to Jupiter. They were used to explore 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.

The Viking 1 and Viking 2 missions consisted of both an orbiter and a lander. The landers successfully touched down on the surface of Mars, while the orbiters remained in Mars' orbit to relay communications and data between the landers and Earth.

In 1976 twin Viking spacecraft reached Mars. Each of the Viking landers carried a small laboratory meant to search for life forms. These laboratories tested Mars's air and soil for signs of life. None of these test showed evidence of life.

The two VIKING probes arrived in Mars orbit in 1976 when they started sending photographs back to Earth. The two orbiters continued sending photographs and the landers conducted experiments on the planet's surface until they failed as follows:Viking 2 Orbiter: July 1978 Viking 2 Lander: April 1980 Viking 1 Orbiter: August 1980 Viking 1 Lander: November 1982.
