Does anyone here think this rover could make a long trek to Ares Vallis?
It came to mind, as last month I was reading the old Pathfinder mission press briefing which was posted days after the mission's last data transfer from the craft. Sojourner Rover's mission was not yet over if the battery failure hadn't occured when it did the extended mission was designed to send the six wheel probe to the outer vicinity of the landing site. It would of been a target 50KM from Pathfinder, the challenge to anaylis the rocks. From what I understand the rover will eventually go past marathon valley, going south. |
