The optical system in the camera on the Viking Lander is described. A pair of these cameras on each of two landers have operated on Mars since July 20 and September 3 of 1976. The optical system consists of a F/5.6 three-element lens, a scanning mirror, an external window, and a detector assembly. The lens has a performance that gives 89% modulation at an image frequency of 0.08° per cycle.
