Launch Date: December 4, 1996
Landing: July 4, 1997, Ares Vallis, Carl Sagan Memorial Station
Mission End: September 27, 1997
Target: Mars
Mars Pathfinder was launched in 1996 to deliver a lander and a robotic rover named Sojourner to the surface of Mars. It deployed a parachute upon entering the atmosphere, and the impact of the lander was cushioned by airbags that inflated before the parachute was cut loose and the lander allowed to free-fall to the surface. The mission collected imagery and data useful in understanding the Martian atmosphere and geologic composition.
