No, the Mars Pathfinder was not a satellite. It was a lander, meaning it landed on the surface of Mars.

Here's the breakdown:

* Satellites orbit a planet or other celestial body. They don't touch the surface.

* Landers physically touch the surface of a planet or moon.

The Mars Pathfinder mission included a lander (the actual Pathfinder) and a small rover called Sojourner. The lander delivered the rover to the Martian surface, where it explored the area around the landing site.
