Listening to that week+ old teleconf - I heard that they intend to inspect the front edge of one of the solar arrays to try and identify the mechanism for array output increases ( i.e. the cleaning events ) - I guess that means an MI obs. of them - as someone touted previously - should be interesting biggrin.gif

Opportunity is at 80% of it's orig. power - almost full caperbility ( 820Whr/sol
) . The spectrometers are getting a little tired - their sources are decaying obviously.

Spirit's getting 350-400 Whr's a sol. Eek. Poor thing sad.gif
