Assuming that there are no MGS type anomalies and funding holds out (according to NASA's FY09 budget, the current extension ends in September); how much longer can Odyssey remain operational with the fuel onboard?
(I know you guys are strict about starting new threads, but I couldn't find any other thread related to this topic.) |

Yeah...but then again, similar sorts of things could happen to any spacecraft, anytime. Gonna repeat the mantra again: 'redundancy, redundancy, redundancy...'

My point is that it didn't have anything to do with age.
