Target Name: Mars Is a satellite of: Sol (our sun) Mission: Mars Pathfinder (MPF) Spacecraft: Mars Pathfinder Rover Instrument: Rover Cameras Product Size: 383 samples x 280 lines Produced By: JPL Producer ID: N/A Addition Date: 1999-07-02 Primary Data Set: MARS_PATHFINDER_PAGE Full-Res TIFF: PIA01575.tif (134.6 kB) Full-Res JPEG: PIA01575.jpg (41.5 kB)

Original Caption Released with Image: This right image of a stereo image pair of the rock "Chimp" was taken by the Sojourner rover's front cameras on Sol 72 (September 15). Fine-scale texture on Chimp and other rocks is clearly visible. Wind tails, oriented from lower right to upper left, are seen next to small pebbles in the foreground. These were most likely produced by wind action. This image and PIA01574(left eye) make up a stereo pair. Mars Pathfinder is the second in NASA's Discovery program of low-cost spacecraft with highly focused science goals. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, developed and manages the Mars Pathfinder mission for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, D.C.
