This figure shows the entry vehicle deceleration in g's along its flight path during the entry phase of the mission. This figure compares atmospheric temperatures recorded by the Pathfinder Meterology experiment with temperatures acquired at the same season and time of day by the Viking 1 lander.
Temperature is given in Kelvin and time is local time of day at the lander site.
This figure compares atmospheric surface pressures recorded by the Pathfinder Meterology experiment with pressures acquired at the same season and time of day by the Viking 1 lander. Pressure is given in millibars and time is local time of day at the lander site. This figure compares atmospheric wind speed recorded by the Pathfinder Meterology experiment with temperatures acquired at the same season and time of day by the Viking 1 lander. This figure compares atmospheric wind direction recorded by the Pathfinder Meterology experiment with temperatures acquired at the same season and time of day by the Viking 1 lander. Wind direction is given in degrees and time is local time of day at the lander site.
