On the current spacecraft on Mars:
A major dust storm has developed near 50* longitude and is moving north from the Argyre Basin. The active Mars Rovers--Curiosity, Perseverance (US) and Zhurong (China), along with the US Martian Helicopter Ingenuity and the US seismic station Insight are around longitude 250*, on other side of the planet. The US Rovers are nuclear powered and shouldn't be affected by dust, but China's Zhurong and Ingenuity, the US helicopter and the seismic station Insight are solar powered and could be severely affected if this dust storm goes global. We'll see what develops. --Bill -------------------- |
