  1. Nasa's golf-cart-sized Opportunity Rover feared dead as storm engulfed Mars The six-wheeler rover landed in a region of Mars called Meridiani Planum on January 24, 2004, sending its first signal back to Earth from the surface of the Red Planet Nasa's golf-truck estimated Opportunity wanderer - which as of late finished 15 years on the outside of Mars - may have 'passed on' after an enormous worldwide tempest immersed the Red Planet seven months back, researchers state. No flag from Opportunity has been gotten since June 10 a year ago, as a planet-wide residue storm covered the sun based controlled meanderer's area on the western edge of Perseverance Valley, in

In spite of the fact that the tempest in the end decreased and the skies over Perseverance cleared, the wanderer has stayed quiet in spite of the mission group's rehashed endeavors to get in touch with it. Since the loss of flag, more than 600 recuperation directions have been emanated to the meanderer, Nasa said in an announcement. "I haven't surrendered yet," said Steven W Squyres, the important agent of the Mars Exploration Rover Mission (MER), which includes two Mars wanderers, Opportunity and its twin meanderer, Spirit. "This could be the end. Under the suspicion this is the end, it feels better. I imply that," Squyres was cited as saying by The New York Times. The group is proceeding to tune in for the wanderer over a wide scope of times, frequencies and polarizations utilizing the Deep Space Network (DSN) Radio Science Receiver. The six-wheeler wanderer arrived in an area of Mars called Meridiani Planum on January 24, 2004, sending its first flag back to Earth from the outside of the Red Planet. The wanderer was intended to travel 1,006 meters and work on the Red Planet for 90 Martian days (sols), Nasa said in an announcement. It has gone more than 45 kilometers and logged its 5,000th Martian day (or sol) back in February 2018. Opportunity and its twin wanderer, Spirit, propelled from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 2003. Soul arrived on Mars in 2004, and its main goal finished in 2011. Read More
