No Vikings landed in u . s . a . of america, approximately 1000 years in the past. there have been 2 Vining spaceships concentrated to the Mars. 2 Viking landers have been the 1st spacecraft to habit prolonged scientific learn on the exterior of yet another planet. Viking a million began its 10-month adventure to Mars on August 20, 1975. Viking 2 accompanied on September 9. After entering Mars orbit, the spacecraft orbiters carried out photographic surveys of the planet's floor to help in the quest for risk-free landing web sites.

No Vikings landed in America, about 1000 years ago.
There were two Vining spaceships targeted to the Mars. Two Viking landers were the first spacecraft to conduct prolonged scientific studies on the surface of another planet. Viking 1 began its 10-month journey to Mars on August 20, 1975. Viking 2 followed on September 9. After entering Mars orbit, the spacecraft orbiters conducted photographic surveys of the planet's surface to assist in the search for safe landing sites. Viking 1 landed on July 20, 1976; Viking 2 landed on September 3.

NASA's Viking program consisted of two unmanned space missions to Mars, Viking 1 and Viking 2. Each mission had a satellite designed to photograph the surface of Mars from orbit, and to act as a communication relay for the Viking lander that each mission carried. It was the most expensive and ambitious mission ever sent to Mars. It was highly successful and formed most of the database of information about Mars until the late 1990's and early 2000's.
So as you can see there were two orbiters and two landers.

The Viking probes didn't land on Mars, they just flew past it. They also lost almost every Rugby SuperLeague match they were in and got relegated to Division 1

It's just more Norse insecurity at work..........Leif Ericsson discovering America.........Eric the Red colonizing Vinland (Maine)............ The Vikings probably spent most of their time drinking mead and wenching, and making up tall tales about where they had been
