Western media said that NASA's "Opportunity" Mars probe did not send back any signals after a large-scale sandstorm on Mars last June. The head of NASA announced at a press conference on the afternoon of the 13th that it decided to terminate the "Opportunity" mission on Mars.
According to the Spanish newspaper "National News" reported on February 13, the "Opportunity" Mars probe is expected to have a life span of 90 days and can travel 600 meters, although the team hopes that it will last for one year on Mars. After leaving the Earth, its adventures ended in 15 years, driving more than 45 kilometers, longer than the marathon. The Opportunity explores the very old terrain on Mars and analyzes sediments that span more than a billion years. It sets the benchmark for all future missions: NASA reviews the Opportunity task every two years, and each Opportunity is always passed at a higher score, surpassing many other more modern and Young detector.
According to the report, the "Opportunity" and its twin sister "Courage" belong to NASA's "Mars Detector" program (abbreviated as MER). The two detectors left the Earth in 2003, and each vehicle is equipped with With 256 megabytes of memory and a megapixel camera, this sounds outdated, but it was a good quality 15 years ago. They landed on Mars in January 2004 and landed at the relative area on the equator of Mars - "Courage" landed at the Gusev crater, which may be the riverbed of the ancient Mars Lake; the "Opportunity" landed in the plains The data indicates that there may have been water in the past.
