| Description: | The Viking landers arrived on the Martian surface in 1976 to use Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) to collect data, test for organic molecules and use other biology experiments to detect microbial life on the red planet. These missions were deemed a failure due to the GCMS results being negative for the presence of indigenous organics and the data badly stored then forgotten about for over 40 years. This individual project by MSS19 student Hannah Woodward, supervised by PhD candidate Melissa Guzman and Professor Hugh Hill, explores the initial efforts to restore this data. |
