00:00On this day in space.
00:03In 1997, NASA's Mars Pathfinder mission arrived on Mars and began transmitting images from the surface of the red planet.
00:10The rover named Sojourner was the first rover to successfully land on Mars.
00:14Sojourner was accompanied by a lander named the Carl Sagan Memorial Station.
00:19The mission used an innovative landing system to touch down on the surface.
00:23NASA cocooned the rover with airbags to cushion the impact after a parachute slowed down the fall.
00:28Pathfinder touched down in a region of Mars called Eris Valles, an ancient floodplain that NASA chose because it was
00:33relatively safe but still had plenty of rocks to study.
00:36While the Pathfinder lander took pictures of the Martian sky and collected meteorological data, the Sojourner rover studied Martian rocks
00:43and soil with its three cameras and an alpha proton X-ray spectrometer,
00:47which allowed it to analyze the chemical composition of samples from the surface.
00:51And that's what happened on this day in space.
00:58I was discovered from the universe,
00:59I was already in the same woods with Chiris Valles,
00:59There was a few other people between the Opportunity of the Miracles and the Miracles of the уровom,
00:59but I was so pleased with this.
00:59And I loved it when I was in the space.
