	`TEXT:`
DL=, /LP, /TX	`CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - A six-wheeled buggy no bigger than a child's wagon`
	`sped toward Mars yesterday on a 310-million-mile odyssey to explore the`
	`planet's rocky, red surface.`

	`The Mars Pathfinder, the spacecraft carrying the rover, is scheduled to`
	`drop down onto the planet's surface on July 4, its 30-mph landing cushioned`
	`by large air bags that will inflate at the last moment. Then the`
	`remote-control rover, named Sojourner, will amble out in search of rocks.`

/TX	`It is the first time a mobile craft has been sent to explore the surface`
	`of another planet.`

	`NASA hopes that Pathfinder, the second of 10 spacecraft to be launched`
	`to Mars over the next decade, will live up to its name by paving the way`
	`for future robotic explorers and proving that cheap little spacecraft can`
	`work.`

	`Pathfinder was built in three years for $196 million, a bargain by`
	`NASA's drawn-out, budget-busting standards.`

	``If you look at this, the cost of Pathfinder is the same as the cost of
	the movie `Waterworld,' '' Donna Shirley, manager of the Mars exploration
	`program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., said after`
	`the spacecraft's middle-of-the-night sendoff.`

	`Pathfinder's designers opted for air bags for the first time to see how`
	`well spacecraft can land in rugged terrain. The probe is expected to bounce`
	`a dozen times, as high as 40 feet, before it comes to rest.`

	`Tony Spear, project manager for Pathfinder, expects the descent through`
	`the Martian atmosphere and landing to be 100 times more nerve-racking than`
	`yesterday's launch. That was nerve-racking enough.`

	`With the loss just two weeks earlier of a Russian Mars probe that never`
	`made it out of Earth's orbit, scientists were more worried than usual about`
	`Pathfinder.`

	`As it turns out, nearly everything went well, even though the unmanned`
	`rocket was two days late taking off with Pathfinder because of bad weather`
	`and a computer failure.`

	`The only snag was a sun sensor that was giving trouble. Spear said the`
	`sensor, a navigation device, might just need some adjustment and, in any`
	`event, would not jeopardize the mission.`

	`For interplanetary navigator Cheick Diarra, Pathfinder's departure was`
	`bittersweet.`

	``You have been seeing the Sojourner and the spacecraft for so many
	years,'' Diarra said. ``It is like a friend going away. But it is a good
	`feeling because that was the ultimate goal.''`
