Title : The ascent stage of a two-stage lander soars through the tenuous Martian atmosphere on the first leg of a long trek home

Caption :

The ascent stage of a two-stage lander soars through the tenuous Martian atmosphere on the first leg of a long trek home. This Mars outpost crew has just completed a year-long tour of duty and will spend about one more year on a transfer vehicle returning to Earth. This equatorial base, located near a tributary of Valles Marineris, is in the vicinity of the Viking I landing site.
