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.

No. HiRISE has a resolution of 25-30cm/pixel, and that's it.

Hello,
Does anyone know if these models of the terrain around Pathfinder are available anywhere today? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIDGdBHstxs |

In 2001, I had the good fortune of seeing the NASA Ames simulation ATC tower's 360° screens used to provide a tour of the Pathfinder landing site. It felt like being in a flying room that moved about 10 meters around a central point and we could see the terrain shift in perspective just beneath our feet as we moved. That surely used this very same data.

Thank you very much! I've been looking for these for some time. Hopefully I can do something interesting with the data. |

There were many problems with this 3D data unfortunately, not all that I could fix perfectly. Many gaps and misalignments. Two large breaks in the terrain prevented me from continuously turning to the East.
Here is the video of the Mars Pathfinder landing site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPrtzkEq-To...eature=youtu.be |

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

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. |

Another bump-
Here's the Pathfinder / Sojourner landing site- ![]() ![]() A 2016 paper raises the possibility the site is near or at the edge of a Martian tsunami debris field-
