It lands on mars and it weighs than thirty eight pounds so it won't float...
Just like Earth's gravity holds you to Earth, and doesn't let you float away, Mars, too, has some gravity (less than Earth), which won't simply let objects float away into space.
As with any object, Mars does have gravity. It may not be as strong as on earth, but it is there and it attracts objects to its surface.
