The project is also sending a command three times a week to elicit a beep if the rover happens to be awake. Total odometry is unchanged at 28.06 miles (45.16 kilometers).
No word from Opportunity as skies begin to clear Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 30, 2018 No signal from Opportunity has been heard. The dust storm on Mars continues to decay. There has been no new storm activity within ~1,864 miles (3,000 kilometers) of the rover site. The atmospheric opacity (tau) over the rover is decreasing. As reported previously, it is expected that Opportunity has experienced a low-power fault, and then perhaps, a mission clock fault. Subsequent to the last contact with the rover on Sol 5111 (June 10, 2018), the up-loss timer has expired, adding another fa ... read more
