Opportunity is on Mars for over a decade and the weight of years is felt at the memory.
Opportunity on Mars
Opportunity is the big brother who Curiosity landed on Mars there are more than two years. This rover however set foot on the red planet on January 25, 2014. It was therefore acquainted with this hostile environment there is 11 and NASA did not expect that this robot is still functional. The years are still hard to bear and some failures are referenced by scientists.
Opportunity on Mars is a victim of the weight of years
Initially, Opportunity had a lifetime Limited on Mars since NASA had fixed 90 days. He therefore made a real achievement and Curiosity could also last for several years on the red planet, but it also suffers in this arid soil. Indeed, the new robot NASA has been the victim of holes in the wheels because of the rocks that were heavily worn, it could therefore affect its future trips. Regarding Opportunity, the problems are at the level of memory, because it is not very fresh. NASA has studied this dysfunction can have a real impact on the rest of the mission.
Opportunity forget his program on Mars
Opportunity has traveled 41 km on Mars since arrival failed to reach the Earth. For 48 hours, there has been radio silence that could come very detrimental if it recurs. Scientists at NASA have therefore thought a computer patch in order to solve this dysfunction. Opportunity will have the opportunity to receive it in a few days. Hope this is enough to boost the memory of the rover. The latter has been battered in recent days, since the robot can forget the eve of his program or observations requested by the teams of NASA.
