I was wondering if anyone here knew how many sols Viking 1 and Viking 2 operated on Mars, for comparison purposes. I know the basics (that Viking 2 went out in 1980, and Viking 1 two years later), but the actual numbers of sols would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I would be utterly amazed if MGS, Odyssey, MRO or MEX could use UHF in a way that would be compatable with the Viking landers.

(update - infact, it's a no. The Viking UHF was around 381Mhz, whereas modern Mars Relay operations are conducted at the 430ish range )
