The lander will only last a few months!?
I find this mission less appealing every time I hear about it. This lander should have the ability to move around. |

QUOTE (Decepticon @ Aug 25 2005, 01:08 AM) Perhaps the same way the MER landers were only supposed to last a couple of months (90 days)? We're about a year and a half now on both of them. I bet at least one of them hits 2 years. Phoenix is likely made of similar stuff. I guess a lot of it depends on whether or not there are frequent "cleaning events" at that location. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.
