With all these wonderful posts showing off very impressive reprocessed Viking image data, this seems like just the right forum to ask if anyone knows how I can get my hands on the raw data from the Viking Biology expts? All I can find on line are scans of busy, poorly drawn graphs. I need the data to generate figures for a book on Astrobiology (it'd be sad if we weren't able to make good figures for the only in situ test for ET that we humans have ever performed). Thanks for any pointers.

* Test Equipment Finds Life in Mars-like Conditions

In a test of equipment that might one day be used to search for biological
activity on Mars, researchers discovered life tucked deep inside a frozen
Norwegian volcano.
