NASA. Viking 2 mission. Great view of the Planet MARS and a boulder-strewn red rock field that extends to the horizon nearly two miles from Viking 2 on the Utopian Plain of Mars. Scientists believe that the colors of the Martian surface and sky in this photo represent their true colors. Fine red dust particles have settled on the spacecraft surfaces. The salmon color of the sky is due to dust particles suspended in the atmosphere. The camera color calibration cards are mounted at three locations on the spacecraft. Note the blue star field and the red flag stripes. The circular structure at the top is the high-gain antenna, pointed toward Earth. Viking 2 landed on September 3, 1976, some 4,600 miles from its twin, Viking 1, which landed on July 20. Posterior chromogenic print. Legend on label on the back. 25.5 x 20.4CM with margins.
