(AP)—The surface of Mars, where previous mechanical visitors came to auction and mysterious enda, was also prepared for the Mars landing preparation for a July 4 landing attempt. Hoping to avoid the fat of U.S. landlords that went dead within seconds of touchdown, Vikingen began a 10-day safety study of the team's driving and with two cameras and other instruments. Viking scans Martian surface During Vikking's new orbit, 58 photographs were taken yesterday from Vikking's new orbit, where it was placed Monday. Vikking now circles the planet once every 24.6 hours—the length of a day. It approaches the surface of the sun one point and swings out to 20,255 miles above the surface at the other extreme point of its elliptical orbit. At 11.07 a.m. PDT every day, Vlking passes over the low-lying mouth of an ancient valley where the landing site is to search for signs of living organisms. Cameras mounted on the Viking mothership take a series of pictures each time the landing site is beneath the spacecraft. Transmitted to Earth and combined into a mosaic, the photos of project officials and the three crew will still encounter when it detaches itself from the Viking orbit and descends to the surface July 4.

The Soviet Union, meanwhile, announced it launched yesterday a new space lab, Salyut 5, that would orbit the earth for scientific and technical studies. The official news agency Tass, which announced the launching, said nothing about immediate plans to man the research station. But a Western specialist in Moscow predicted that "sooner or later" the new station would be manned. The construction of orbiting space stations for scientific and possible military use appears to be the main priority in the continuing Soviet space program.
