The Viking Lander Seismic Experiment Data Set

The Viking Lander 2 Seismometer Data PDS4 bundle contains Viking Lander 2 seismic data migrated from a PDS3 dataset. The bundle includes the seismic data, PDS4 labels, and supporting documentation. There is no seismic data from Viking Lander 1 because the instrument failed to uncage upon landing.

The original PDS3 volume is available at the links below. 

PDS4 Bundle

root directory Top level of bundle.
readme.txt Introduction to the bundle.
data_derived collection Seismic data files and their PDS4 labels.
document collection Several documents about the Viking mission, the Lander spacecraft, the seismometer instrument, and the seismic dataset.
miscellaneous collection Two text files with information on the lander sampling arm activities. These files are included because the arm activities may have induced signals in the seismometer. They were originally in the PDS3 'extras' directory.

PDS3 Volume

The Viking Lander Seismic Experiment Data Set contains data from the Viking Lander 2 seismic experiment on Mars, 1976-1978.
