| 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. |

One of Sojourner's two front cameras took this image of the Sagan Memorial
Station on Sol 6. The lander and its deployed rear ramp are at upper left,
while several large rocks appear at center. Sojourner was near the large
rock Yogi when this image was taken. |
