Geology and Geomorphology
During the Pathfinder mission, one of the main
scientific objectives was to discover and process the geology aspect of Mars. This
included taking inumerous pictures that gave scientists an idea of the martian landscape
that would aid them is gaining a more broad understanding of how life could have once
existed on Mars. In addition, the knowledge gained about the immediate surroundings
of the Pathfinder Landing site allowed scientist to learn about weather patterns observed
in drifts and erosion observed in rock surfaces. This information would eventually
help scientist discover the truth about Mars' past and answer many questions about its
future. Below you will find all the infomation gained through the work of the
Sojourner rover and some interpretations of the scientific community.
