My guess is , that the harmonic freq coming from the operation of the drill had devastating effects on electrical connections given the light gravity and thin atmosphere......... ??? The thing vibrated itself to death.... Too many engineers not enough technicians on the project!

"to turn on a drilling tool"

Um OK, first I'd heard of that. Suggests things, doesn't it? Drill turns on, instant glitch. Suggests hardware. Drill in contact with rock, rock chips fly, rock chips hit things, things stop working.

They say they are only getting "meaningless radio noise" or the safe mode beep. Suggests a problem with the transmitter. What is the layout of this? Anybody got a diagram?

Spirit was only the fourth of 13 spacecraft to complete the seven-month journey successfully over the past 34 years.

I've gone stupid again. I count 2 Viking landers, the 2 current orbiters, the Carl Sagan station, a couple of Mariners and the European orbiter. Where does 4 come from????
