A photo from open sources space exploration mounted an eight-minute video showing eleven-year-old in accelerated shooting the work of the famous rover “Opportunity”.
Scientists report that filming began on January 30, 2004 years, that is, five Earth days after the rover ended up on the Red Planet. The last frames were made twenty April 5th of this year. During its mission, the rover overcame distance over forty two kilometers.
The American post also shows the placement Opportunity on the map. Planet rover showed amazing survivability, exceeding its useful life by almost forty time. Experts predicted that the device will be able to function on Mars a maximum of ninety two days, however the famous robot exceeded all the expectations of the creators. It is noteworthy that in March of this Opportunity’s memory was reformatted to rover did not lose a single byte of received information.
A robot equipped with many photoelectric converters, charges its batteries from sunlight. Despite the fact that device panels are becoming increasingly dusty, sometimes Martian winds clean them a little, so it’s not known exactly how much Opportunity will be able to work. Anyway, there is hope that the rover will “wait” when the earthlings fly after it – its creators. And if you do not meet them fully equipped, then without fail with dignity of a “long-liver” and with completely preserved information, which he gathered on the Red Planet for people.
