Pebbles, Cobbles, and Sockets Target Name:   Mars Spacecraft:   Mars Pathfinder Rover Produced by:   USGS Copyright:  Copyright Free Policy Date Released:  14 October 1997 Related Document Mars Pathfinder Mission Download Options Name Type Width x Height Size path015.gif GIF 593 x 446 200K This Rover image of "Shark" (upper left center), "Half Dome" (upper right), and a small rock (right foreground) reveal textures and structures not visible in lander camera images. These rocks are interpreted as conglomerates because their surfaces have rounded protrusions up to several centimeters in size. It is suggested that the protrusions are pebbles and granules. Mars Pathfinder is the second in NASA's Discovery program of low-cost spacecraft with highly focused science goals.
