Are the solar panels able to raise up? I say this when MER traveled thru the space, the solar panels was inside in compact mode before it landed.
During the process of closing (raising) and opening (lowering) solar panels might shake due to the motor vibration or also due to the slope, some dust will slip down. |

The wind blows the panels clean from time to time. |
