Re: JPL/Mars question
Woody there is several threads on rovers that you can find by using the search function at the top of the page. You may find one that was active in the fall when a serious storm threatened the rover. I put forth a solution that parking the rover against a wall in the crater it was near would protect it in the high winds and debris laden storm. I think Dave Lavery answered that they hoped that the winds would keep the panels clear so that when the storm blew itself out, the rover could recharge. Keeping it out of the wind would have comprimised the dust build up. The storm lasted almost a month as I remember and their plan worked. Rover is still going.
