I believe they shut it down, anticipating the dust storm effect that stopped the other rover. After the dust clears, we will see

Anyone know where you can buy a plutonium powered heater? They sound like they work well.

Stalled because of a dust storm. What happens if the solar panels which fuel this thing are permanently covered with sand?

The Rover shoulda dug/drilled a cave to live in in bad weather.

This thing was supposed to have an active on-planet lifespan of 90 days.

Today is day 5255.

The storm has been growing since the end of May with unprecedented speed.

At least it wasn’t Ludicrous speed!

Why didn’t they power down before this?

Well, I’ve heard Mars is no place to raise your kids.

In fact, it’s cold as hell.

I don’t see the problem. Can’t they just send someone up there with a whisk broom and a wet sponge to change the batteries?
