Carl Sagan Memorial Station, located in the Ares Vallis region of Mars (19.5°N, 32.8°W), began transmitting data back to Earth on Sol 1 when Pathfinder accomplished touchdown at (Earth time) 10:07 AM Pacific Daylight Time on July 4, 1997. Planetary science experiments and photography was done from the station and the robotic rover Sojourner.
