Bruce Banerdt, project scientist for the mission, said team members were looking forward to collecting more science data as a result of having more electrical power. NASA recently agreed to extend the Mars Exploration Rover mission for another year starting in October.

Thanks Eduardo, both of us nearly back at the same time and ready for another extension year!
BTW and IIRC, I thought that the last time the mission has been extended was (already) up to October 2007, but anyway, even if it's a confirmation, I buy it!
