Viking 2 was a rover probe launched by Humans from Earth to Mars in the 20th century. Prior to the year 2155, mohole-borer operators at Utopia Planitia nearly ran the Viking 2 rover over. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)

| - Viking 2 was a rover probe launched by Humans from Earth to Mars in the 20th century. Prior to the year 2155, mohole-borer operators at Utopia Planitia nearly ran the Viking 2 rover over. (ENT - The Romulan War novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing)
- Operations included close approaches to Deimos in October 1977 and the periapsis was lowered to 300 km and the period changed to 24 hours on 23 October 1977. The orbiter developed a leak in its propulsion system that vented its attitude control gas. It was placed in a 302 × 33,176 km orbit and turned off on 25 July 1978 after returning almost 16,000 images in about 700–706 orbits around Mars.
- The Viking 2 mission was part of the American Viking program to Mars, and consisted of an orbiter and a lander essentially identical to that of the Viking 1 mission. The Viking 2 lander operated on the surface for days, or sols, and was turned off on April 11, 1980 when its batteries failed. The orbiter worked until July 25, 1978, returning almost 16,000 images in 706 orbits around Mars.
