Wednesday, February 13, NASA officially end the 15-year Opportunity Mission on Mars. Despite all their efforts, the engineers were unable to revive the rover that had been neutralized by a huge dust storm covering the planet last year.
Opportunity has made valuable scientific contributions and has inspired an entire generation. As a result of this announcement, many scientists, fans, space enthusiasts and artists turned to social media to express their sorrow and solemn farewells. His last message was, "My battery is low and it's getting dark."
The Mars rover was declared dead today after no communication since June 2018, that was his last message. A 90-day mission that lasted 15 years. You did well, we are all very proud of you. ?#RIPOppy #Opportunity pic.twitter.com/z8yIjS1rFM
