The JPL news story on the dust storm was updated this evening to say that the rover failed to check in today and is likely in low-power fault mode.

the rover failed to check in today and is likely in low-power fault mode. Bummer. Per https://trs.jpl.nasa.gov/handle/2014/37750 (assuming there are no changes to the fault response), if it gets enough power to boot back up, comm is limited to one LGA DTE per day at 11 LST, unless the ops team can get commands in to alter this behavior and enable UHF comm. I'm sure this will all be described tomorrow. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
