Mars Pathfinder [1] was 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, [4] the first rover to operate outside the Earth–Moon system.

Astronomers reflect on the 25th anniversary of the Mars rover landing, the first wheeled robot to roam a planet. It's been 25 years since the landing of the Mars Pathfinder. Planetary exploration ...
Ares Vallis was the landing site of NASA's Mars Pathfinder spacecraft, which studied a region of the valley near the border with Chryse in 1997. Ares Vallis is in the Oxia Palus quadrangle of Mars. It has been argued that Uzboi , Ladon , Margaritifer and Ares valles, although now separated by large craters, once comprised a single outflow ...

The MESUR Pathfinder [10] was launched on December 4, 1996 by NASA aboard a Delta II. After a 7-month voyage it landed on Ares Vallis , in a region called Chryse Planitia on Mars , on 4 July 1997. During its voyage the spacecraft had to accomplish four flight adjustments on 10 January, 3 February, 6 May and 25 June.
