I came across this article:

(Dr. Lemmon is the planetary scientist that LASA Robotics had the privilege of spending some time with for the American Mural Project this past year:http://www.met.tamu.edu/people/faculty/lemmon_index.php)


I also came across a photo of one of the arms on the rovers that was back in action on August 6 after a period of 20 days. (that is what the caption says) It is in a group of photos on MSNBC.com called Sublime space shots, photo #16.
