For the NASA Mars probes, see Viking program File Viking Satellite on Ariane Adapter.jpg thumb right The Viking satellite is mounted on top of the Ariane adapter. Viking was Sweden s first satellite . It was launched on an Ariane 1 rocket as a piggyback payload together with the France French satellite SPOT satellites SPOT 1 , on February 22, 1986. Operations ended on May 12, 1987. Viking was used to explore plasma processes in the magnetosphere and the ionosphere. Space was limited underneath the SPOT 1 satellite, and Viking had to be quite sturdy in order to withstand the stress of launch. The basic shape of the Swedish satellite was a flat octagonal disc, 0.5 meters thick and 1.9 meters across. The mechanical interface of the Payload air and space craft payload adapter from the Ariane rocket was duplicated on top of Viking. This enabled it to be added to the launch with a minimum of redesign of the SPOT satellite. After SPOT had been released, Viking fired its own rocket engine and was sent into its proper polar orbit . Once in orbit, 4 wire segments of 40 meter length each were spooled out in a radial direction from the edge of the spinning satellite disc. Also, 2 stiff rods of 4 meter length were extended in the axial direction. A sensor pod was stationed at the end of each of these, forming three orthogonal pairs. Together ...
