Virtual 'Viking Mission Museum' preserves and presents Mars lander history [i]Hundreds of digital resources are now available to the public through the Viking Mission Museum, an online archive from the non-profit Viking Mars Missions Education & Preservation Project (VMMEPP). Established in 2013, the project collects and curates artifacts and team recollections from NASA's first journey to Mars' surface. "Viking technology and methodology permeate aerospace missions, from the throttleable terminal descent engines of Blue Origin and SpaceX to camera systems on [the Mars rovers] Spirit and Opportunity," VMMEPP leaders stated in the introduction to the museum. "But, equally important are the peer influences that have continued to extend Viking's reach into the asteroid recovery [mission] OSIRIS REx, the Hubble Space Telescope and the educational and cultural fabric that guides future generations through teaching and the arts." "Viking's influence can be seen everywhere," the project's leaders stated.[/i]
