Viking 1 and Viking 2 landed on Mars in 1976 and Mars Pathfinder (and the Mars rover Sojourner) landed on Mars in 1997 and are still up there moving and functioning today.
The Mars Pathfinder Lander was launched from the Kennedy Space Center on the 4th of December 1996. After a 7 month voyage, it landed in a region called Chryse planitia on the 4th of July 1997 (Independence day!). Inside the lander was the rover Sojourner, which took 550 images (the lander took 16 500) before transmissions was lost on the 27th of September 1997.
it took the mars pathfinder 211 days to get to mars.
The pathfinder was the first solar-powered spacecraft to land on mars. When the pathfinder infolded its petals the Sojourner is revealed.
