Nasa's Mars Rovers celebrate 10 years on the red planet
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2014/01/2575.jpg
Nasa and the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (NASM) in Washington are sponsoring events to commemorate 10 years of roving across the Red Planet by the Mars Exploration Rovers (MER). Spirit and Opportunity, both launched by NASA in the summer of 2003, completed their three-month prime missions in April 2004 and went on to perform extended missions for years. The rovers made important discoveries about wet environments on Mars that may have been favorable for supporting microbial life. Although Spirit ceased communicating with Earth in March 2010, the Opportunity rover continues its work on the Red Planet
