Mars Pathfinder

Mars Pathfinder ( MESUR Pathfinder ) [1] [4] is an American robotic spacecraft that landed a base station with a roving probe on Mars in 1997. It consisted of a lander , renamed the Carl Sagan Memorial Station , and a lightweight (10.6 kg/23 lb) wheeled robotic Mars rover named Sojourner , [5] which became the first rover to operate outside the Earth–Moon system.

The Mars Pathfinder ( MESUR Pathfinder [1] ), later renamed the Carl Sagan Memorial Station , was launched on December 4, 1996 by NASA aboard a Delta II just a month after the Mars Global Surveyor was launched. After a 7-month voyage it landed on Ares Vallis , in a region called Chryse Planitia on Mars , in the Oxia Palus quadrangle , on July 4, 1997. The lander opened, exposing the rover called Sojourner that would go on to execute many experiments on the Martian surface.

The Mars Pathfinder , launched in December 4 , 1996 by NASA , was a hugely successful Mars exploration probe . Though completely successful and completing real objectives, the Mars Pathfinder mission can be regarded as a "proof-of-concept" for various technologies, such as aerobraking , airbag -mediated touchdown, and automated obstacle avoidance, all later exploited by the Mars Exploration Rovers . The Mars Pathfinder was also remarkable for its extremely low price, relative to other unmanned space missions. This was an important consideration, considering approximately two-thirds of spacecraft destined to Mars either fail to launch or are lost enroute (See Mars Climate Orbiter in particular.)
