The ASI/MET is the Atmospheric Structure Instrument and Meteorology Package on Mars Pathfinder. Specifically it is the mast and windsocks at the center of this image. The instrument appears in two different sections due to image parallax. ASI/MET acquired atmospheric data during Pathfinder's descent and has continued to get more data during the mission. In this image, the windsocks are pointing up, indicating very little wind. A shadow of the ASI/MET can be seen on a rock at the left, indicating the Sun's position being at the rear right. Also in the image are portions of the lander petal and deflated airbags. Several rocks of various sizes can be seen in the distance.
