Today, we're saying #ThanksOppy as the @MarsRovers mission comes to an end. 6 things to know about our record-breaking, discovery-making, marathon-driving rover, which found that ancient Mars was awash in water... and some of the best images it sent back: go.nasa.gov/2N5wHKv
#ThanksOppy for being the little rover that could! A planned 90-day mission to explore Mars turned into 15 years of ground-breaking discoveries and record-breaking achievements. Here's a look: x.com/i/moments/1095…
One of the most successful and enduring feats of interplanetary exploration, our @MarsRovers Opportunity is at an end after almost 15 years exploring the surface of Mars. Designed to last just 90 Martian days, here's a look at this record-setting mission: nasa.gov/press-release/…
The rover that could. Set to last 90 days, @MarsRovers Opportunity spent 14+ years on Mars thanks to the team's ingenuity. In 2011, her wheel motor was wearing out, so engineers designed a way to keep the mission going...in reverse! They often drove backward to extend her life.
Opportunity trekked more than a marathon’s distance and set the off-world driving record, spotting dust devils along the way. go.nasa.gov/2E805wR #ThanksOppy
