Viking - Remaster NASA Documentary, 1976 - Planet Mars, Space, Search for Life, Mars Landing

Remastered NASA documentary about the Viking probes to Mars. Mission profile is discussed, including launch, insertion into Martian orbit, landing and conducting experiments. Scientist describe the experiments and conditions for Martian life.

The Viking program consisted of a pair of identical American space probes, Viking 1 and Viking 2, which landed on Mars in 1976. Each spacecraft was composed of two main parts: an orbiter designed to photograph the surface of Mars from orbit, and a lander designed to study the planet from the surface. The orbiters also served as communication relays for the landers once they touched down.

Original footage from NASA. Sound cleanup, film dust removal, conversion to the original 24 fps frame rate, geometry correction and color restoration by Retro Space HD.
