Artwork of Mars Pathfinder after landing on Mars
Mars Pathfinder arrival at Mars. Third in a series of three artworks showing how the Mars Pathfinder craft will arrive at Mars in July 1997. Here the craft has opened its three petal-shaped doors, revealing the science package (gold) and the solar panels (blue). At bottom left is the autonomous small rover vehicle which has begun its exploration and study of the surface around the lander. In the distance is the landers parachute (white). Mars Pathfinder is due for launch in December 1996, and is intended to prove the concept of multipart, low-cost vehicles for repeated Mars exploration missions

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork of Mars Pathfinder, capturing the momentous landing on the enigmatic red planet. As the third installment in a series of three artworks depicting its arrival in July 1997, this image reveals the craft's awe-inspiring features. The three petal-shaped doors have gracefully opened, unveiling the science package adorned in resplendent gold and accompanied by sleek blue solar panels. Intriguingly positioned at the bottom left corner is an autonomous small rover vehicle, eagerly embarking on its exploration and study of Mars' surface surrounding the lander. Its tireless mission to unravel Martian mysteries has just begun. Gazing into the distance, one can spot remnants of a white parachute that aided in safely descending onto this alien terrain. Mars Pathfinder serves as a pioneering endeavor set for launch in December 1996. Beyond proving itself as a groundbreaking concept for multipart vehicles designed for repeated Mars exploration missions, it symbolizes humanity's unyielding curiosity about our neighboring planet. This extraordinary artwork encapsulates both scientific ingenuity and artistic brilliance while offering us a glimpse into mankind's quest to understand our place within our vast universe. With every brushstroke meticulously crafted, this print from Science Photo Library invites us to marvel at humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge amidst distant worlds yet to be fully explored.
