New Update:
http://www.planetary.org/news/2011/0430_Ma...ate_Spirit.html There is only so much that can be done from down here, and the countdown to the end of mission for Spirit has quietly, unofficially begun behind the scenes. Word is that NASA headquarters is preparing to announce that MER will continue as a one-rover mission around the first of June. Later: JPL's crew will continue the current recovery operations, which take place several times a day, through May 25th, informed Nelson. Following that, "greatly reduced recovery operations" -- averaging one effort each week -- will continue through the end of the year. |

It is well worth going back and reading through the entire Spirit thread and all the topics and posts.
There are some great memories back there and in hindsight, some interesting comments. I liked these: Comment: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...post&p=2106 Topic: http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...ost&p=11437 |
