drive. As in the previous sessions, I did not tell him he was in
drive, but rather tried to move him to a new location, in hopes
that the move would jar him out of it. He has learned something
from these two AOL sessions, but because he is still experiencing
trouble in identifying AOL from true data, in the next few
sessions if he does not declare an AOL as such I will point it
out to him thus providing immediate feedback.

TO ENTER ORBIT, Viking 1 fires its braking
engine (1). Landing-site safety check complete,
the orbiter releases the lander, cocooned in a sau-
cerlike, protective aeroshell (2). Since it takes as
long as 22 minutes for a radio signal to reach Mars
from earth, a computer in the lander masterminds
the landing sequence.
First, it ignites the de-orbit engines that nudge

the aeroshell out of orbit and into a landing tra-
jectory (3). As the aeroshell plunges into the Mar-
tian atmosphere, frictional tempJratures up to
1,500? Celsius (2,730? F.) sear the ablative shield
(4). When the aeroshell has slowed to less than 600
miles an hour, the computer deploys a parachute
for further braking and jettisons the protective
shield (5). Later, the parachute is teleased.
Terminal-descent engines (6) sloW the lander to
five mph and triumphant touchdown (7).
