Damn I didn't think it had been that long! That thing is putting in some serious overtime.
The team that programs the daily instruction set is doing so too.
I wish the Wikipedia article for this thing had a chart showing which sensors are still operational and what they're used for, like they do for Voyager 1 & 2. Somebody needs to clean up that article and add that section in.
Somebody needs to clean up that article and add that section in.
I nominate @[email protected] to add that section into the Curiosity Wikipedia article.
All in favour (upvote below) : all against (downvote below)
Bad idea. People who aren't knowledgeable about a subject, have no business editing the article about it.
I nominate a person who actually works at NASA. Don't make my dumbass do it or I'll just get banned again for vandalism.
To think its original mission was supposed to only last around 2 years and yet it's still going. So proud of the work they do out at NASA.
11 years?! Geez. It feels like yesterday when people were talking about it landing on Mars.
I wonder, as a rover program goes on and gets closer to its end, do the controllers get more daring?
