Happy Birthday Opportunity

Amazing. Both rovers are four earth years old.

Re: Happy Birthday Opportunity

But how old are they in Martian years? ;)

Re: Happy Birthday Opportunity

As of noon (UTC) today, Spirit and Opportunity are 1444 and 1423 sols (Martian days) old, respectively. And they are both acting quite spry for their ages. :)
