| Sojourner has made contact with the rock Yogi in this image,
taken with the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) at 8:45 p.m. PDT on Sol
6. The rover's left rear wheel has driven up onto the Yogi's surface in
an attempt to get as close as possible to the rock's surface. Sojourner
will later use its Alpha Proton X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS) instrument to
conduct a study of Yogi's chemical composition. |
