Does anybody know how much time Oppy actually can spend on driving on a single sol?
I remember that when she travelled from Eagle to Endurance crater it was no more than 1.5 hours per sol (or so), due to power limitations. I have no idea what the current power situation and battery status of Oppy allows these days... |

Are you suggesting shot-blasting the solar arrays with compressed martian air laden with dust?
Isnt the point mute anyway? The rovers are still working - it's more likely a mechanical failure will kill them off - not a lack of power. Doug |

Just like a dust laden dust devil can clean of dust from a dust laden array. What's mute mean ? You're right. Sol 548 & 528. This threat is getting a little over the top, me being guilty as well. But al these beautifull sols, images and science makes me like a little child: wanting more and more (for the same money ![]() |
