Viking Mars lander launches face procedural hurdles
Cape Canaveral reports the Viking Project is ready to launch with two missions planned to search for life on Mars. The first liftoff is set for today, with a July 4, 1976 Mars landing, followed by a second Viking launch on August 21 and a September 9 Mars mission if trials succeed. Experts discuss five critical gates including sterilization, launch survivability, ten month cruise, hostile Martian environment, and a soft landing. Scientists weigh whether discovering life would speed or delay manned missions.
