Life of Mars Rovers Threatened

The ‘life’ of the 2 Mars Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, is threatened by a planet-wide dust storm.

“The storm is affecting both rovers and reducing the power levels on Opportunity,” said John Callas, Mars Exploration Rover project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “We are keeping an eye on this as we go forward, but our entry into Victoria Crater will be delayed until no sooner than July 13.” space.com
