Mars Pathfinder (MESUR Pathfinder[2]), kemudian dinamakan kembali sebagai Carl Sagan Memorial Station, dilancarkan pada 4 Disember 1996 oleh NASA di atas roket Delta II hanya sebulan selepas Mars Global Surveyor dilancarkan. Semasa perjalanannya, pesawat angkasa lepas ini terpaksa melaksanakan empat pelarasan pada 10 Januari, 3 Februari, 6 Mei dan 25 Jun. Selepas perjalanan 7 bulan, ia telah mendarat di Ares Vallis, di dalam kawasan dinamakan Chryse Planitia di planet Marikh, di Oxia Palus quadrangle, pada 4 Julai 1997. Sebaik sahaja pendarat dibuka, ia mendedahkan perayau dipanggil Sojourner yang seterusnya melaksanakan banyak uji kaji di permukaan planet Marikh.
