Sojourner robotic vehicle on Mars
robotic Sojourner rover vehicle on the surface of Mars sampling the large rock known as " Yogi". " Yogi" was the second rock to have its composition studied by Sojourner with its Alpha-Proton X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS). Sojourner also carries a high-resolution camera. Its tracks are seen in the fine soil. The rover weighs 9 kg, is 63cm long and 48cm wide. It is powered by a solar panel which allows for a few hours movement per day, and is controlled by an operator on Earth. Part of a 360 degree panorama taken by the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) on the 8th, 9th and 10th Martian days spent on Mars since it landed on 4 July 1997

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Sojourner robotic vehicle on Mars, as it diligently explores the enigmatic red planet. The robotic Sojourner rover can be seen gracefully maneuvering across the Martian surface, specifically sampling a large rock affectionately known as "Yogi". This rock became only the second to have its composition meticulously studied by Sojourner using its cutting-edge Alpha-Proton X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS). Equipped with a high-resolution camera, this pioneering rover leaves behind visible tracks in the fine soil of Mars. Weighing a mere 9 kg and measuring 63cm long and 48cm wide, this compact marvel is powered by an efficient solar panel that grants it a few precious hours of movement each day. Controlled remotely by an operator stationed on Earth, Sojourner has been instrumental in unraveling the mysteries of our neighboring planet since its historic landing on July 4th, 1997. The accompanying image forms part of an awe-inspiring 360-degree panorama captured by the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) over three Martian days. It serves as a testament to humanity's unyielding spirit of exploration and scientific curiosity. As we gaze upon this snapshot from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of our boundless potential to venture beyond our earthly confines and uncover new frontiers in space exploration.
