This is a little pan I put together from the last "end-of-day" image Pathfinder returned of Sojourner on Sol 80. Sol 81 would be the last day for which Sojourner would return images. Sol 76 saw the last data return form the forward looking cameras. The color data was stolen from other sols. Sol 83 would be the last day any data would be returned, and Sol 92 would be the last day any contact would be made. The remaining images on Sols 81-83 were of the windsocks.

New paper suggests that Pathfinder explored a dry spillway between Mar's northern ocean and an inland sea-

Kargel Scientific Reportsvolume 9, Article number: 4045 (2019) https://www.psi.edu/news/pathfinderlandingsite] A NASA Spacecraft May Have Explored the Edges of an Early Mars Sea in 1997://https://www.psi.edu/news/pathfinder...ars Sea in 1997://https://www.psi.edu/news/pathfinder...ars Sea in 1997://https://www.psi.edu/news/pathfinder...ars Sea in 1997 “Our paper shows a basin, with roughly the surface area of California, that separates most of the gigantic Martian channels from the Pathfinder landing site. Debris or lava flows would have filled the basin before reaching the Pathfinder landing site. The very existence of the basin requires cataclysmic floods as the channels’ primary formational mechanism” said Rodriguez. |
