These data are on B/W microfiche generated at NSSDC from NASA Reference Publication 1007 prepared by Robert B. Tucker. This publication is a general reference for the imaging data from the Viking Lander primary mission. It presents the results of the procedures that were applied to the imaging data to produce an organized record that is as complete and as error-free as possible. The result is called the Experiment Data Record (EDR). This publication contains all images returned by the two Viking Landers during the primary mission. Skyline drawings display the outlines of the images as they appear in the viewing area. Also included are a selection of computer-generated camera event reports that list supplemental information about the conditions under which the data were collected and how they were processed and recorded. In addition to a comprehensive report, several listings are included that group the images in a variety of ways (e.g., by time of day). A section on terminology has been included to assist with the interpretation of the listings and the image presentation. Several diagrams also provide assistance on this subject. This publication will acquaint the user with the imaging data that are available from the Viking Lander primary mission and the procedure used to obtain photographic products. It is necessary to order this data set to select EDR images (PSPA-00019).
