Description: Original NASA Viking Lander 2 (surface, 1976) Mars photographic image. Photograph is fine condition on high quality Kodak paper. 8" x 10". See photograph. Original Martian surface photograph from the NASA/JPL Laboratory and printed for research in the early 1980s on Mars surface processes. NASA Viking Lander 2 instrument grabber/clamp assembly (center). View of the various textures of the cobble- to boulder-sized rock fragments that the device was collecting for examination. Thus, a one-of-a-kind photograph and not very common (most of these were destroyed at the end of the project). Note: this image has four single data error (loss of data in transmission). You can check the Mars Viking Lander 2 image record (URL below) to see that it is in the original data sent to Earth.

If you want to see all of the Viking Lander 1 and 2 images taken on Mars, go to the URL: https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/vlander/vlbrowser.html Use the image number to find them (make sure you pick either Lander 1 or Lander 2). Check out the other natural history, science, history, geology, and literature volumes I have listed. Still working through my collection and some hard-to-find or important volumes that you may need (or just want to read or look through). A good price. Downsizing my library and research collection to fit our new (smaller) house. Shipped with USPS Media Mail. Canada buyers inquire concerning shipping costs. Combined S/H for multiple items. I am not shipping the Mars Viking Lander Photographs to overseas - the S/H and the paperwork has contributed to avoiding these potential buyers (my apologies).
