Which robotic mission successfully demonstrated the "Faster, Better, Cheaper" concept?

Answer

Mars Pathfinder

The Mars Pathfinder mission served as a key success story illustrating the tangible benefits of the Faster, Better, Cheaper (FBC) management philosophy during Goldin's tenure. This mission exemplified the ability of the agency to achieve significant interplanetary results using a more cost-effective, results-oriented approach favored by the new mantra. While FBC was often better suited for smaller, robotic endeavors compared to the logistics of the Space Shuttle or the ISS, Pathfinder's successful landing and data return proved that efficiency and speed could yield substantial scientific breakthroughs on the interplanetary scale.
