Mars Pathfinder

Astronomy
  • A NASA space probe, launched in 1996 December, that landed in a lowland area on Mars, Ares Vallis, in 1997 July. It deployed a micro-rover called Sojourner that roamed the surface, analysing the composition of Martian rocks. The lander and rover operated for nearly three months until communication was lost in 1997 September.

Space Exploration
  • A NASA spacecraft launched on 4 December 1996, landing on the planet Mars on 4 July 1997. It carried a small six-wheeled roving vehicle called Sojourner to examine rock and soil samples around the landing site. Mars Pathfinder was the first to use air bags instead of retrorockets to cushion the landing.

    Pathfinder sent its last data transmission on 27 September 1997. It sent over 23 million bits of information back to Earth, including over 16 500 images from the landing site, 15 chemical analyses of the surrounding soil, and previously unknown data on the Martian wind and weather.

    http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/MPF/index1.html Features galleries of both Pathfinder (lander) and Sojourner (rover) images. The scientific findings directory has chapters on geology, mineralogy, and meteorology, and interpretation of the Pathfinder data and images. There are high-resolution pictures and images viewable with red/green glasses.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • A NASA environmental survey mission to Mars that was launched in 1996 and soft-landed successfully in July 1997. After landing Pathfinder was renamed the Sagan Memorial Station, in honour of Carl Sagan. Sojourner, a small rover, travelled short distances from the main lander, exploring rocks selected by controllers on Earth from images transmitted by the lander.

    http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/mesur.html A NASA mission launched in 1996 to study the feasibility of landings on, and explorations of, Mars.
