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.

In the 2000 film Red Planet starring Val Kilmer, astronauts stranded on the Martian surface in the year 2057 improvise make-shift communications using the radio from Mars Pathfinder to contact their main ship orbiting the planet.
