Viking维京
Two Viking spacecraft were launched from the Earth in 1975 for the purpose of landing on Mars. The discovery by Mariner of river and lake beds on the surface rekindled visions of life on Mars, and the Viking craft were equipped with experiments to probe for bacterial life. The Viking craft consisted of orbiter and lander modules. The lander descended to the surface with the aid of a heat shield, a parachute, and retrorockets. 1975年,两艘维京探测器从地球发射,目的是着陆在火星上。马林ner在表面发现河流和湖泊床的发现重新激发了人们对火星上生命的想象,维京探测器配备了探测细菌生命的实验。维京探测器由轨道器和着陆器模块组成。着陆器在热盾、降落伞和反推火箭的帮助下降落在表面。
The orbiters were able to establish through spectroscopy that the residual polar caps were indeed water ice. The landers did not find evidence of life, but collected enormous amounts of data about soil and air composition. That air composition data was valuable later for identifying meteorites found in Antarctica as having come from Mars. 轨道器通过光谱学确认残余极冠确实是由水冰组成。着陆器未发现生命迹象,但收集了大量关于土壤和大气成分的数据。这些大气成分数据后来在识别南极发现的陨石时发挥了重要作用,证明这些陨石来自火星。
The Viking orbiter captured images of the two moons of Mars in 1977. 维京轨道器于1977年拍摄到了火星的两颗卫星的影像。
