Sol communicates with NASA using a rover from "summary" of The Martian by Andy Weir
Sol 6 I was on the surface of Mars, alone. Well, not completely alone. I had the whole crew with me, in spirit. But physically, I was the only person on the planet. And that's when it hit me - I needed to figure out a way to communicate with NASA. With the Hab's comm system fried by the storm, I had to get creative. That's when I remembered the Pathfinder mission. It had a communication system that might still be operational. All I had to do was get to it. So I hatched a plan. I would use one of the rovers to travel to the Ares 4 MAV site, where the Pathfinder was located. Once there, I could hook up the rover to the Pathfinder and establish a communication link with NASA. It wasn't going to be easy. I had to drive the rover for hundreds of kilometers, over rough terrain and through dust storms. But I was determined. I had to let NASA know I was still alive. And maybe, just maybe, they could help me get off this godforsaken planet. As I embarked on my journey, I encountered obstacle after obstacle. But I didn't let that deter me. I pushed through, using my wits and my resourcefulness to overcome each challenge that came my way. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, I arrived at the Ares 4 MAV site. I hooked up the rover to the Pathfinder and powered up the communication system. And there it was - a signal. A signal that meant I was no longer alone. NASA was listening. I sent a message, letting them know I was alive and well. And to my relief, they responded. We were finally in communication. It was a small victory, but it was a victory nonetheless. And it gave me hope that maybe, just maybe, I could survive this ordeal after all.
