The only antenna capable of transmitting through the ship's cocoon of balloons was a single, whiplike stalk protruding from between two of the bags. If Pathfinder landed upside down, however, the antenna would be crushed against the ground. It would then be at least two hours before the bags could deflate and one of three metal petals that make up the sides of the ship could open, turning the entire structure upright.
