Spirit Continues Work As Martian Winter Deepens

Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 21, 2006

NASA mission controllers report that Spirit continues to be productive even as Martian winter conditions harshen. Controllers at Jet Propulsion Laboratory report that Spirit now receives about one-third as much solar energy as the rover received during the Martian summer while it explored Husband Hill, in the Columbia Hills of Gusev Crater.
