An interesting update at Newscientist.
Seems they are planning on using Spirit's RAT to dig down into the dirt, cm by cm. I wonder how deep they can go? Maybe we'll find out if there is anything frozen/liquid just below the surface. Link |

QUOTE So this is planning what to do in maybe 9 months time. Awesome. I can't imagine that things will get worse for it over the winter. It's away from El Dorado, which was apparently a prime location for dust deposition, and on a bit of a slope. It might get a bit of a cleaning from light winter breezes. If nothing else, the low winds of winter might help ensure less dust buildup. This is just going to be so utterly devastating when they finally do announce to the world that the rovers are no more. |
