देखिए ऐसा क्यों कहा था opportunity Rover रोवर ने | See why opportunity rover told like this |

Obviously, the robotic geologist, which touched down at Mars’ Meridiani Planum in 2004, did not “speak” like people do. However, the general public is not able to parse the lines of code, the fault readings and measurements Opportunity sent back to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. The public needed to have that information relayed to them in a way they could understand.

They also are unlikely to know that when Opportunity sent her updates back to Earth, that these streams of data had to be transmitted up to one of the spacecraft orbiting Mars (either the 2001 Mars Odyssey or Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft) and then to Earth via the Deep Space Network.

Mission planners for NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover program estimated that each of the two rovers would last about three months. They severely underestimated their creations’ perseverance. Spirit was active, either roving or as a stationary scientific platform on Mars for about six years. Opportunity? It took a dust storm that blanketed the entire planet to end her mission after 15 years of service.

“Opportunity was kind of like a family member and this last ‘message’ was sad, but I knew it had a great life,” Carleton Bailie, a photographer who covered the mission for Boeing told SpaceFlight Insider (Bailie provides his images to SpaceFlight Insider).

NASA knew the dust storm spelled trouble for the solar-powered rover. After the agency lost contact with her – they endlessly tried to get her wake up but were forced to accept that she was gone. The official announcement was made on Feb. 12, 2019.

This storm was the (Martian) real deal. The first signs of what was coming started in late May of 2018. By June the storm had covered Mars (and it didn’t wane until mid-September). Opportunity was a fighter and it took one hell of a storm to finally take her out. The storm was possibly the worst seen by NASA since the agency first began observing them in 1971 when the Mariner 9 probe was in orbit above Mars.

My battery is low and it’s getting dark.” This supposedly was the last message sent back to mission controllers on Earth by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. But is this actually what she “said?”
