Domed Lander on Splayed Legs

Spacecraft that touch down on the Martian surface and operate from a fixed location, with no roving component and no separate orbiting element launched as part of the same craft. Belongs here: any stationary Mars surface mission. Does not belong here: a Mars mission that also roves, grouped under Mars Rover, or that combines a lander with an orbiter, grouped under Mars Orbiter and Lander.
