That marks 10 x the design lifetime

An incredible milestone and CONGRATULATIONS to the entire team on the Mars Exploration Rover mission from the US, Germany, Denmark and around the world.

Enjoy the gamut of Mars Exploration at the 2006 MARS DAY event at the The National Air and Space Museum (NASM) in Washington, DC on Friday July 21, 2006.

there are wonderful activities planned for all ages and interests. Scientists and volunteers including myself (at the Viking display station) will be on hand to interact with the public, one on one, and answer questions. If you are in the area please stop by the Viking display and say hello and see a full scale model of the RAT too.

I saw the MER model at the museum in Manchester ( UK ) a few months back and I could have ripped it to shreds smile.gif Terrible accuracy.
