The wildly successful Mars Pathfinder lander burst onto the world scene on July 4, 1997. Its three month mission explored Ares Valles, an ancient floodplain north of the Valles Marinaris canyon complex. Its small passenger Sojourner became the first rover to explore Mars. The brilliant success of the mission forever changed the way unmanned space exporation is done.
