OBJECTIVES NASA wanted to prove they could develop a faster, cheaper, and better spacecraft Wanted to prove they could send load of scientific equipment to another planet Demonstrate NASA’s commitment to low-cost planetary exploration Finished the mission with 280 million dollars Main reason was to observe Mars

ACCOMPLISHMENTS Conducted different investigations on Martian soil Using a stereoscopic camera, they collected data about pressure, temperature, and wind X-ray spectrometer observed components of rock and soil Camera on rover was used to investigate the geology of Martian surface Found the magnetic and mechanical properties of dust, atmosphere, and rotational orbit of the planet Sent 16,500 pictures, 2.3 billion bits of info, and 8.5 million measurements of atmospheric pressure, temperature, and wind speed Rover lasted for three months
