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.
The robotic Sojourner rover reached Mars on July 4, 1997 as part of the Mars Pathfinder mission. Sojourner was operational on Mars for 92 sols (95 Earth days), and was the first wheeled vehicle to operate on an astronomical object other than the Earth or Moon.
