Does anyone have an exact date for when the MER combined mission duration becomes greater then the Viking combined mission duration? My rough calculations put it at Dec 29; but maybe some with more precise numbers can get a more exact date.

From wikipedia I have: Vk1 lasted 2245 Sols Vk2 lasted 1281 Sols That is a total of 3526 Sols. On Sun Dec 28, 2008 MER-A will be at Sol 1773 and MER-B will be on Sol 1753.

Paolo Please correct me if I'm wrong: Sojourner lasted 92 Sols (?) Phoenix lasted 151 Sols (?) Adding this to the Vikings = 3769 Sols Spirit + Oppy will, hopefully, surpass ALL other landers added sols on May 3rd of this year... and individually by late August 2014 -------------------- |

Assuming both rovers will survive until May MER will surpass the combined sols of all landers/rovers (except MER) on May 2, 2009. Assuming only MERB survives next winter, MERB sol 2245 is May 18 2010.
