book cover : bksojourner The Adventures of Sojourner : The Mission to Mars That Thrilled the World
by Susi Trautmann Wunsch

Tells the story of the mission that placed the Sojourner remote-control rover on Mars on July 4, 1997.

The author, Susi Trautmann Wunsch , 16 June, 1999 writes:
As befits a book about space travel, this one descended from the clear blue sky. News accounts of the Mars Pathfinder mission over the Fourth of July weekend in 1997 seized my interest in an unexpected way. I found immediate and irresistible parallels between the Mars rover and “The Little Engine That Could,” a favorite of my children and mine. Like the book’s character, the rover was small (hardly bigger than a breadbox) and intrepid. One could hardly resist anthropomorphizing her.
