Martian Origami. The Little Sojourner Mars Rover Sits On The Left Petal Of The Mars Pathfinder Lander,

Martian origami. The little Sojourner Mars Rover sits on the left petal of the Mars Pathfinder lander, Oct 1996. Sojourner weighed just 23 pounds (10.6kg) & became the 1st rover to operate beyond the moon when it landed in 1997. Pathfinder was the 1st successful lander on Mars by NASA since the 2 Viking missions in 1976. Sojourner was expected to operate between 1-4 weeks yet it served for 3 months, gathering important data on Mars for scientists back home.
