1997 The finder mission explores Mars

The Mars Pathfinder mission featured NASA's first rover to explore the surface of the Red Planet. The pioneering mission demonstrated a number of innovative, economical, and highly effective approaches to spacecraft and planetary mission design. In addition to the engineering feat of landing on Mars with protective airbags for the first time, the mission also served as a demonstration of key technologies and concepts for use in future expeditions to Mars.

 In 1997, they made the first rover to go to Mars, to search and to see if they could see mars. They were really proud of what they made because, it brought back a lot of data. On September 27, 1997, Mars pathfinder returned 2.3 billion bits of information, including more than 16,500 images from the lander and 550 images from the rover,as well as more than 15 chemical analyses of rocks and soil and extensive data on winds and other weather factors.
