This is Mars Pathfinder. This is Phoenix, we just put two years ago.

It's the pathfinder that shows us a simple road through an impenetrable moral maze.

Geologists from the Survey served on the Pathfinder imaging team and helped plan for a wide range of Pathfinder experiments and geologic observations, including selection of a landing site at the mouth of a large Martian outflow channel.

This Pathfinder project had collected over 93,000 AVHRR scenes by the end of the fiscal year.

In 1981, it flew 163 miles from Paris to England, solely on the power of sunbeams, and established a basis for the Pathfinder.

As part of the Landsat Pathfinder program, the USGS has been producing standardized Landsat Multispectral Scanner data sets from three periods (1973, 1986, and 1992) to support the EPA apos s North American Landscape Characterization Program.

The amazing Pathfinder mission that went in '97, and the MER Rover missions that are on Mars as we speak now and the European Space Agency's Mars Express, has taught us a number of amazing things.

In addition, the USGS has been involved in planning for unpiloted missions NASA proposes to send to Mars, including Pathfinder (a lander with a small rover projected for 1996 97), at least two orbiters named Mars Global Surveyor, and a series of Mars Surveyor landers.

In FY 1994, the focus of the joint NASA NOAA Pathfinder was on generating data for the benchmark period April 1987 to November 1988, but additional data sets included TOPEX Poseidon, an educational CD ROM, the First International Satellite Cloud Climatology Regional experiment, and the UARS.

Using Pathfinder data sets, NASA scientists combined NOAA 7, 9, and 11 data on vegetation dating back to 1981 to predict the likelihood of famine and locust plagues in Africa, for use by the United States Agency for International Development to locate drought areas and locust swarms.

Foci of the program include data base development (rescue, digitization, and assembly of high priority data sets) data access and archive management, which provide the means to make the data sets available to scientists and Pathfinder, which is developing community consensus algorithms for the reprocessing and dissemination of large volume, multidecadal, global scale, operational satellite data sets.

Paul MacCready If we could have the second video, the one minute, put in as quickly as you can, which this will show the Pathfinder airplane in some flights this past year in Hawaii, and will show a sequence of some of the beauty behind it after it had just flown to 71,530 feet higher than any propeller airplane has ever flown.
