NASA’s enthusiastic rover, which mesmerized a lot of people with its 3D pictures of Mars’ rocky surface area, became part of an objective that preceded the launch of the iPhone by a couple of years. Oppy broke down for great in an area on Mars’ surface area that appears, in hindsight, specifically fitting for this resistant piece of equipment: Perseverance Valley.
The end came when Opportunity was obviously engulfed by a planet-wide dust storm that swallowed up Mars, and it was required to go into a standby mode after its solar energy was cut off by the big clouds of dust.
