Continuing his research after transferring to California in 1967, Stoeckenius found that the pigment, called bacteriorhodopsin, functioned as a sort of pump, converting sunlight directly into electrochemical energy. Light striking a pigment molecule causes it to eject a hydrogen ion-or proton-that passes through the cell's membrane. The movement of the positively charged protons through the membrane leaves an excess of negative charge on one side of the membrane. That produces a voltage gradient and results in an electrical current flowing through the membrane. In the process, which involves at least five separate steps, each bacteriorhodopsin molecule...

...will cut loose Lander I for its descent to Mars' surface. The lander, almost 10 ft. wide and 7 ft. tall overall, will start work at once. In the Martian atmosphere, only 1% as dense as earth's, its radio reports on atmospheric pressure, composition, temperature and ion concentrations will be relayed to earth by the Viking orbiter. Slowed by a parachute, the lander will spread its three spidery legs and will be braked by retrorockets for what is hoped will be a gentle setdown near the mouth of a 2,500-mile-long canyon, perhaps the site...
