NASA's Opportunity Rover Still Missing After Massive Martian Dusk Storm

NASA's Opportunity Rover, which has been wandering Mars for almost 15 years, is absent for two months in the wake of getting captured in an enormous residue storm, the media announced. 

The meanderer needed to experience a crisis shutdown in June, after the Martian residue storm kept it from fueling itself through its sun oriented boards. 

Researchers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have been tuning in for the meanderer ordinary since its constrained shutdown and endeavoring to send Opportunity a message charge three times each week. Up until now, it has not sent a signal back, the Inverse wrote about Tuesday. 

Last NASA got notification from Opportunity was on June 10 and from that point forward there's no genuine refresh, Andrew Good from NASA's Mars and Mars innovation media relations authority told Inverse. 

"Despite everything we haven't gotten notification from it. An assortment of researchers figure right on time to mid-September may be a period when the skies sufficiently clear that it could revive," he said. 

Besides, the science group does not hope to hear anything from Opportunity until there has been a huge decrease in the climatic mistiness over the wanderer site, NASA said in an announcement. 

"Since the last contact with the meanderer on June 10, Opportunity has likely encountered a low-control blame and maybe, a mission-clock blame. Furthermore, the up-misfortune clock has likewise since terminated, bringing about another blame condition," it included. 

First recognized by NASA on June 1, a gigantic tempest prompted a "dim, interminable night" over the meanderer in the Perseverance Valley. 

The wanderer utilizes sun oriented boards to give control and to revive its batteries. 

Opportunity's capacity levels had dropped essentially by June 6, requiring the meanderer to move to negligible activities and later to briefly suspend science tasks. 

In spite of the exacerbating residue storm, Opportunity had sent a transmission to NASA builds on June 10
