<h3>Communications</h3>
<p class="ml-4 ml-sm-3">
Sojourner is unique among the 4 rovers to successfully deploy on Mars in that it required
it's lander to stay in communication with Earth. The rover was not equipped with a high gain
antenna, which is required in order to communicate with Earth over large distances.
</p>
<p class="ml-4 ml-sm-3">
This limitation forced the rover to stay within a certain range of the lander, and
throughout it's lifetime on Mars, it never traveled more than a few dozen feet from the
lander.
</p>
<h3>Tools</h3>
<p class="ml-4 ml-sm-3">
Sojourner was designed to study the surface of Mars by collecting and analyzing rock
samples, taking pictures and more using the following tools:
</p>
<ul class="ml-3 ml-lg-4">
<li class="py-1 pt-2">
An <abbr title="Alpha Proton X-ray Spectrometer"><em>APXS</em></abbr> for determining
elemental composition of soil, rocks and other materials on the surface of Mars.
</li>
<li class="py-1">
<em>Rover Control Software</em> for coordinating movement, studying terrain features,
and viewing the nearby area in 3D space.
</li>
<li class="py-1">
<em>Three cameras</em>, one color, two monochrome. However, the operators primarily
used images from the lander's IMP camera system, as it had higher quality on top of
having a height advantage over the rover.

</ul>
</b-col>
<b-col cols="12" lg="5" align-h="top" class="w-100 h-100">
<h3>Autonomy</h3>
<p class="ml-4 ml-sm-3">
Sojourner was an important step in Robotics due to the nature of the mission.
With such a long distance between Mars and Earth, radio communications took around 14
minutes to receive, and then another 14 minutes to send back.
</p>
<p class="ml-4 ml-sm-3">
As such, human telegraphed movements too slow for the mission, and while complete autopilot
is impossible for such a complex mission, the rovers, landers, and spacecraft made by NASA
had to be programmer with autopilot.
</p>
<p class="ml-4 ml-sm-3">
To solve this problem, Sojourner, along with every rover to land on Mars, is equipped with
software dedicated to autonomously moving the rover across the martian surface.
</p>
<p class="ml-4 ml-sm-3">
While Sojourner was comparatively basic in it's software's autonomy, the software was
helpful to operators in visualizing and telegraphing instructions across the rocky terrain
of Ares Vallis.
