In the past we've had some good Viking images here. Soon - all too soon - we will not have Phoenix any more, but despair not! Now we can re-live Viking by playing with old images. They can be searched by sol at the PDS.
As an example, I've made a composite of the very last Surface Sampler activities at either Viking site. This is work done on Viking 2 sol 957 and imaged on sol 957 and 959. (someone can animate it if they like!) We see two separate trenching activities at the same place, and a soil dump (bottom) and a conical soil pile made by the second dump (middle). (more obvious in an animation, I just can't make one on this machine). Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Phil and others interested in Viking, we are (slowly) curating the largest (and growing) collection of original Viking artifacts, documents, images, etc...
The purpose is to educate the public AND provide access to preserve the history, engineering, science, and artifacts, and to prevent further loss and inaccessibility, of the same. You can see a tiny bit of our curated materials on our website, Facebook and Twitter. Let us know if you have particular interest areas and keep in touch. We will showcase individuals work using Viking materials, as well as making the originals available for research and non commercial use. Rachel Tillman Daughter of Viking, James E.
