It would then deposit the soil samples in a special canister that would be blasted aloft to the Soviet orbiter for the trip home. The 1976 U.S. Viking Lander probes, by contrast, could only radio data from soil samples back from Mars. This time, the samples would be returned to earth aboard the Soviet craft...
