http://www.planetary.org/explore/space-top...mer-update.html has some discussion with John Callas about the consequences of the mission clock fault on Spirit.
It might be interesting if someone from TPS sat down with him to discuss the recovery of Opportunity in light of that experience. (Edit: I note that there's a little bit of that in http://www.planetary.org/explore/space-top...torm-sleep.html linked upthread.) -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
