Wikimedia Projects serve the Information Needs of Individuals, Not Groups "it is important to note as essential the principle that Wikimedia projects exist to serve individuals, as individuals, in their full autonomy, and consequently, the projects, as a general rule, do not and should not consider as legitimate censorious demands by institutions, of any kind, political, commercial or voluntary claiming to represent those individuals, or making demands, which, in the community’s opinion, represent only their own interests"
Sojourner is a robotic
Mars rover that landed in
Ares Vallis, a channel in the
Chryse Planitia region, on July 4, 1997.
Sojourner was operational on Mars for 92
sols (95 Earth days). It was the first wheeled vehicle to rove on a planet other than Earth and formed part of the
Mars Pathfinder mission. This panoramic photograph is formed of various images of
Sojourner taken by the
Mars Pathfinder lander, composited into a 360-degree image referred to by NASA as the "presidential" panorama. Since the camera's position was consistent, it is possible to see these images of the rover in the context of the entire landscape.
