Martian origami. The little Sojourner Mars Rover sits on the left petal of the Mars Pathfinder lander, Oct 1996. Sojourner weighed just 23 pounds (10.6kg) & became the 1st rover to operate beyond the moon when it landed in 1997. Pathfinder was the 1st successful lander on Mars by NASA since the 2 Viking missions in 1976. Sojourner was expected to operate between 1-4 weeks yet it served for 3 months, gathering important data on Mars for scientists back home.
