What happend to the first mars rover?
The three rovers Spirit, Opportunity and Curiosityremain in operation exploring the surface of Mars, managed and overseen by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.The first rover, Sojourner, was a part of the larger Pathfinder mission, which touched down on 4th July 1997 in an ancient flood plain in Mar's Northern hemisphere called 'Ares Vallis'. The rover was to work in conjunction with the static Pathfinder lander acting as it's mobile research and collecting vehicle. The mission was originally designed to last only a month, but in the event lasted for THREE months, with the rover taking detailed spectroscopic analysis of Martian rocks as well as other complex analyses of the Martian soil and atmosphere.Final contact with Pathfinder was on 27th September '97, after which her batteries failed due to repeated discharging and re-charging, which eventually caused vital on-board electronic hardware to break, leading to loss of communications. Following this, contact with Sojourner was lost too- she never ventured further than 36 feet away from the Pathfinderlander, and to this day remains parked next to a large rock nicknamed 'Yogi' whose structure she was analysing.The Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter spotted Pathfinder and her attendant rover on the Martian surface in January 2007- they will remain where they are indefinitely, although when eventually human beings do manage to land on Mars, they may visit the defunct probes and possibly even bring them back to be put on display in a museum. But that is many decades away. They have been named the Sagan Memorial Station in honour of the late astronomer and planetologist, Dr. Carl Sagan.The retro-rockets, parachute and backshell that were used in landing the two probes flew back up into space after delivering their cargo and are now in orbit around Mars, occasionally being visible now and again passing by the vision of the Reconnaisance Orbiter.
