Abstract

On 4 July 1997, Mars Pathfinder parachuted through the Martian atmosphere and bounced to a landing encased in glorified airbags. The next day the airbags retracted, and a microwave-oven-size rover named Sojourner eased its way down the ramp, becoming the first human-made vehicle to roll around on the surface of another planet. For the next 83 days, Sojourner captivated the world with inspiring images from the Red Planet.

过去的未来：这个小火星探测器呆在家里

1997年7月4日，火星探路者号通过降落伞穿过火星大气层，弹跳着着陆，包裹在美化的安全气囊中。第二天，安全气囊缩回，一辆名为“旅居者号”（Sojourner）的微波炉大小的探测车缓缓驶下斜坡，成为第一个在另一颗行星表面滚动的人造飞行器。在接下来的83天里，“旅居者”用这颗红色星球上鼓舞人心的照片吸引了全世界。
