On July 20, 1976, NASA's Viking 1 Lander touched do wn to take its first picture of the dusty, rocky surface of Mars. It relayed the historic image back to Earth and began years of data collection. The Viking 2 Lander followed on September 3, 1976. Both blazed the trail to Mars and we have returned many times to the Red Planet since.
