Pathfinder on Mars
2026-07-04
On July 4th, 1997, using its own array of fireworks, a parachute, and a cocoon of airbags, the Mars Pathfinder spacecraft bounced like a giant beach ball at least 15 times before it came to rest on the surface of Mars at 10:07 AM Pacific Daylight Time. After its then novel airbag-assisted landing sequence was completed, Pathfinder transmitted this color mosaic to mission operators on Earth. In the scene from another world, the Mars Sojourner robot rover is visible in the foreground, crouched on top of the unfolded Pathfinder. About the size of a large house cat, the six-wheeled, solar-powered Sojourner became the first successful Martian rover. Surrounding Pathfinder are deflated airbags and the rock-strewn terrain of the Ares Vallis floodplain. In the distance Martian hills appear against a dusty brownish sky. The Pathfinder lander was subsequently renamed the Carl Sagan Memorial Station.

(53311) Deucalion ist ein Transneptunisches Objekt (TNO) im Kuipergürtel, das am 18. April 1999 vom Deep Ecliptic Survey am Kitt-Peak-Nationalobservatorium entdeckt wurde. Es hat einen angenommenen Durchmesser von 211 km und umkreist die Sonne einmal in 293 Jahren. Das TNO wurde als Cubewano klassifiziert und nach Deukalion benannt, dem Sohn des Prometheus aus der griechischen Mythologie.
