Detailed explanation-1: -Is there life on Mars? One former NASA scientist said we found evidence of such more than 40 years ago. In an essay for Scientific American, Gilbert V. Levin explained how life-detection equipment aboard the Viking mission to Mars in 1976 reported positive results for evidence of life.
Detailed explanation-2: -Viking 1 launched on August 20, 1975. It arrived in Mars orbit on June 19, 1976 and the lander touched down on July 20, 1976. Viking 2 launched less than a month after Viking 1 on September 9, 1975. The spacecraft arrived in orbit on August 7, 1976 and the lander touched down on September 3.
Detailed explanation-3: -NASA’s Viking Project found a place in history when it became the first U.S. mission to land a spacecraft safely on the surface of Mars and return images of the surface. Two identical spacecraft, each consisting of a lander and an orbiter, were built.
