Sincerely, Mars Pathfinder Microrover Telecom Team Below, we would like to briefly introduce you to the Mars Pathfinder mission and Microrover experiment before going into further details about the Microrover Telecommunications system. The Pathfinder project was one of the first of NASA's Discovery Program missions. Indeed Pathfinder met both of these goals which we are proud of. Pathfinder is going to land a single vehicle, which we call the Lander, on the surface of Mars on July 4, 1997. Once there it will carry out a number of engineering, technology and science experiments.
