Evo, NASA je i službeno potvrdila da se gasi misija Opportunity.
"After more than a thousand commands to restore contact, engineers in the Space Flight Operations Facility at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) made their last attempt to revive Opportunity Tuesday, to no avail. The solar-powered rover's final communication was received June 10."
Pokušaj da se rover spasi u utorak nije uspio, te se ovime završava i više nego uspješna misija koja je trajala čak 15 godina.
"It is because of trailblazing missions such as Opportunity that there will come a day when our brave astronauts walk on the surface of Mars," said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. "And when that day arrives, some portion of that first footprint will be owned by the men and women of Opportunity, and a little rover that defied the odds and did so much in the name of exploration."
Hvala na svemu, mali roveru!
