You've probably heard about the Mars Pathfinder probe. Once it lands on the Red Planet, Pathfinder will release the Sojourner Rover, a little laboratory on wheels. Sojourner will cruise about the Martian surface performing experments. It turns out that Sojourner and Pathfinder will communicate using two standard, off-the-shelf 9600 baud radio modems.

According to Jet Propulsion Laboratory program manager Donna Shirley, the modem manufacturer warned JPL that sending the modem to Mars would void the warrantee.
