Photojournal note: Sojourner spent 83 days of a planned seven-day mission exploring the Martian terrain, acquiring images, and taking chemical, atmospheric and other measurements.

Although mission managers tried to restore full communications during the following five months, the successful mission was terminated on March 10, 1998.
