Mars Navigator has the ability to send its information by radio wave. It sends wavelength into laser form projected to JPL home base by a satellite. Mars Navigator was launched to mars on March 10, 2000; it landed successfully on March 18, 2000. It landed near Olympus Mons, a huge shield volcano about 26 km (16 miles) high and 600 km (370 mi) across, about the same area as Arizona. Mars Navigator started its mission Immediately. Mars Navigator stuck his arm under mars surface in hope of finding water. Mars Navigator did not find any soluble liquids such as water. However it found frozen sulphurized water. Mars Navigator did not recognize this element, so Mars Navigator recorded the temperature and took a picture and sent the information Back to JPL home base. People at JPL were pleased that Mars Navigator found this element.
