Build Your Own Mars Pathfinder Spacecraft Model!

If you have ever wanted to have your very own model of the Mars Pathfinder spacecraft, here is your chance to build one.

Click on the cutouts below to download, print and construct the model. You will need scissors, tape and/or glue to put it together, and colored markers or pencils to finish it up.

Here are some pictures of the real thing to inspire you!

If you're having problems downloading the model or need Instructions for Downloading...

Note: The images you will be downloading are large files. Your download time will depend on the speed of your modem...

We have also made up smaller files, less sharp GIF versions of the images, that will still print out on 8.5"x11" size paper.

Each image is sized to print on regular 8.5"x11" paper (landscape orientation). Remember, the thicker the stock you print on, the sturdier your model will be!
