Title: Mars rover update! Post by: ConfusedUs on 2004-01-30, 19:32 Spirit should be 'perfect again' after a software update is sent today. It has already been sending images back again and has resumed using its high-gain antenna.
Opportunity will be rolling off its lander earlier than expected, now will be doing so early Saturday morning PST. It has stood up and is pretty much ready to roll. http://www.boston.com/dailynews/030/nation...software:.shtml (http://www.boston.com/dailynews/030/nation/NASA_engineers_hoping_software:.shtml) http://spaceflightnow.com/mars/mera/status.html (http://spaceflightnow.com/mars/mera/status.html) Title: Re: Mars rover update!
