and as usual ...
"How long will it take for us to see other sorts of things related to temperature swings? We don't know," says Matijevic. "We know it matters over time, but we don't know how many of these swings we'll see before we lose a component.

and as usual too smile.gif
"Meanwhile, we're applying for a fifth extended mission for both rovers."

As I expected - the labelling of the graph as 'air temperature' is missleading. It is just a FHAZ temp - not adjusted with any thermal model. It's fairly well isolated from the WEB, but operation of the camera itself would result in higher temps.
