Rover Opportunity
NASA's scientific research assistant, Thomas Zorobkin, announced Wednesday, February 13 at a press conference in Pasadena, California, that the Rover Mission "Opportunity" would end.
NASA Director Jim Brydenstein said that "Opportunity" landed on Mars in 2004, when his mission was limited to a distance of only 100 meters and worked 90 days there. However, it was 32 km and ran until mid-2018.
The rover stopped on June 10, when a heavy dust storm hit its landing area and hit large areas of the planet.
And prevent the dust accumulated on the surface of the rover resume the work of its batteries. All of NASA's efforts to revive the rover have failed.
NASA plans to launch another rover to Mars in 2020, whose mission is to gather information about the possibility of life on the surface in the distant past.
