Is it necessary to have the first citation all over the page? I'm sure that less usage of it would be fine.Captain cornflakes (talk) 20:43, 14 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Curiosity rover which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 03:47, 28 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
I knew Sojourner uses solar power. [It should've had a (ReChargable) battery.] It should be useful as a plant-carrier. That way we can replace CO2 with Oxygen... Photosynthesis! As long as the rover goes from east to west, and a Mars explorer keeps watering the plant, it will survive with everything it needs to make its own food. --Brainiac Amin (talk) 12:31, 3 December 2013 (UTC)Brainiac AminReply
More on the Warm Electronics Box (and its content) and the laser stripe obstacle detection - covered in eg Stone, H. W. (1996). "Mars Pathfinder Microrover: A Small, Low-Cost, Low-Power Spacecraft". {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help) - Rod57 (talk) 13:14, 3 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
HiNikkimaria (talk · contribs)! Is Screen Rant appears to be reliable so the fact that the rover was in the TBBT could stay in the article? [1] And I don't really see why is it a problem - it's not some controversial subject, it's in the episode, and everybody can check it simply by watching it.

I will ocassionally put some links here that may be used later in the article. Artem.G (talk) 10:01, 14 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
HiDiannaa (talk · contribs)! Thanks for adding PD notice, I wasn't aware of this. But the link you've added "Mars Pathfinder PIP (Continued - Part 2/3)" seems to be dead with no archived version. So maybe the previous ref would be ok? Can you please share where did you find it? Artem.G (talk) 14:39, 20 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sojourner is a robotic Mars rover that landed in Ares Vallis, a channel in the Chryse Planitia region, on July 4, 1997. Sojourner was operational on Mars for 92 sols (95 Earth days). It was the first wheeled vehicle to rove on a planet other than Earth and formed part of the Mars Pathfinder mission. This panoramic photograph is formed of various images of Sojourner taken by the Mars Pathfinder lander, composited into a 360-degree image referred to by NASA as the "presidential" panorama. Since the camera's position was consistent, it is possible to see these images of the rover in the context of the entire landscape.
