Marssonde gestartet: Viking 1 und das Leben auf dem Mars Vor 50 Jahren machte sich Raumsonde Viking 1 auf den Weg zum roten Planeten. Später folgte Viking 2. Die Sonden haben Leben auf dem Mars gefunden - beinahe.

#Viking1 & das Leben auf dem Mars

Vor 50 Jahren herrschte am #CapeCanaveral in #Florida #Marsfieber. Die Raumsonde Viking 1 machte sich auf den Weg zum roten Planeten. Drei Wochen später folgte #Viking2. Die Sonden haben Leben auf dem Mars gefunden – beinahe.

A stunning mosaic of over 100 Viking 1 orbiter images of Mars, taken in 1980. The image simulates the view from an approaching spacecraft at a distance of 2,000 kilometers, showcasing the planet's surface details, including craters and varied terrain. In December 2003-January 2004, several robotic missions from Japan, Europe, and the US were planned to arrive at Mars to study its atmosphere and search for water, highlighting humanity's ongoing fascination with the Red Planet. Exceptional views of Mars will be visible from Earthbound telescopes in August and September.
