Nasa. Planet MARS. 1st Mission: VIKING 1. Here, the first image (in black and white) of a human flag on extraterrestrial soil: the American flag on the planet MARS. It is mounted on the 1st nuclear energy supply system. In the distance, Man discovers the Martian horizon covered with rocks. Context: during the summer of 1976, the whole world was stunned to discover a new American exploit in Space with the successful landing of the VIKING 1 probe on the Martian soil. The first images revealed show a territory that sometimes reminds some of the desert relief of the Earth. The feeling that human life will one day be possible on the red planet is affirmed. 40 years later, the planet MARS has become the number one objective of the human space conquest. By the middle of the 21st century we can assume that a human colony of several thousand men and women will already be present on MARS. The first photographs of MARS highlight each of the technical aspects of the VIKING mission and beyond are the witnesses of the first pages of the greatest human revolution of all times: the colonization of a new planet by Man. 25 July 1976.chromogenic print on paper "THIS PAPER MANUFACTURED BY KODAK". Caption on the back. 20,3 x 25,4cm with margins.
