Title: Escape Velocity Space News – EVSN – Celebrating the Mars Robots That Could

Organization: Cosmoquest

Link: http://dailyspace.org/

Description:

From February 7, 2024.

Robots on Mars have a long history of exceeding all possible expectations. From Spirit and Opportunity lasting far beyond their planned 90-day missions to Ingenuity lasting 72 flights out of a planned five, these craft have become so beloved that we mourn their missions ending. Today, while we recognize NASA’s Day of Remembrance, we also celebrate all the Mars missions that have done more than expected.

Bio: Dr. Pamela Gay is a Senior Scientist at Planetary Science Institute and a Director of  CosmoQuest.
