- The mission effort began in 1968 and was managed by the NASA Langley Research Center.
- Each spacecraft was composed of two main parts: an orbiter spacecraft which photographed the surface of Mars from orbit, and a lander which studied the planet from the surface.
- The orbiters also served as communication relays for the landers once they touched down.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Viking program article was read about 46,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
