  pathfinder
Dubbed Pathfinder, it was originally constructed at Marshall Space Flight Center in 1977 as a stand-in for Enterprise to fit-check the roads and facilities at MSFC that were used during the Mated Vertical Ground Vibration Tests, as well as the hoisting system that was used to lift Enterprise into the test facility.
In mid-1978, the Pathfinder mock-up was shipped by ocean barge to KSC where it was used to fit-check the mate/demate device, the OPF and the VAB work platforms, and for ground crew training.

Pathfinder was designed, built and is operated by AeroVironment, Inc., of Monrovia, Calif., the firm that developed the pioneering Gossamer Penguin and Solar Challenger solar-powered aircraft in the late 1970's and early 1980's.
Pathfinder was first developed for a now-cancelled classified government program in the early 1980's to develop a high-altitude, long-endurance aircraft for surveillance purposes.
Essentially a transitional vehicle between the Pathfinder and the follow-on solar wings, thePathfinder-Plus is a hybrid of the technology that was employed on Pathfinder and developed for Centurion/Helios.

The Mars Pathfinder was launched on December 4, 1996 by NASA aboard a Delta II rocket, just a month after the Mars Global Surveyor was launched.
Though completely successful and completing real objectives, the Mars Pathfinder mission can be regarded as a "proof-of-concept" for various technologies, such as airbag-mediated touchdown and automated obstacle avoidance, both later exploited by the Mars Exploration Rovers.
After the landing, the Mars Pathfinder was renamed as the Sagan Memorial Station in honor of the famous astronomer and planetologist Carl Sagan.

 The Pathfinder
Pathfinder and Chingachgook are among the combatants selected to go; Mabel and Cap join the party by way of diversion from the routine of garrison life.
Refusal of Pathfinder's offer is made difficult for Mabel by the great respect and admiration she has for the man. Natty is so enamored of Mabel -- this is his only active pursuit of a woman in the Leather- Stocking Tales -- that he momentarily weeps at his rejection.
Pathfinder unwittingly jolts Jasper when he discloses his intention of marrying Mabel, a step to be taken with the approval of her father.

 Dust on Mars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Mars Pathfinder is the first solar-powered probe to operate on the surface of Mars.
The Materials Adherence Experiment on Pathfinder was designed to measure the degradation of solar arrays due to dust settling out of the atmosphere and blocking light to the solar array, lowering the array power output.
The Pathfinder probe has a primary mission lifetime of only 30 days on the surface of Mars, but has already exceeded this expected lifetime, and is expected to continue operation indefinitely.

 Franz Inc Customer Applications: NASA
Did you know that NASA's Mars Pathfinder spacecraft mission was planned before and during operation by a software system developed using Allegro CL? The Planner system helped Pathfinder scientists account for new data as it was transmitted from Mars by the Pathfinder spacecraft, and evolve their mission plans in real-time to optimize spacecraft operations.
The Pathfinder mission, managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Pasadena, CA) for NASA's Office of Space Science, was "primarily a technology demonstration," according to David Mittman.
In particular, the Pathfinder mission involved landing a solar-powered lander spacecraft (called the Sagan Memorial Station) on the planet, and then deploying a smaller, free-ranging rover spacecraft (called the Sojourner) which toured the planet's surface.
