the rover easily outlasted any expectations they had. amazing really
-
Psh man, stuck or not, she will continue doing business for a long time.
-
How about using the drill to loosen some soil next to one of the wheels on the left or right hand side, creating a fluffy mound which the wheel can turn on. Maybe this would compress the soil enough to give the rover some extra purchase. Like chucks under the wheels of an aircraft.
-
I don't think they will give it up.
-
Well I mean is, will they give up on trying to get it out of the rut when it seems they can't do it. Giving upon the rover.
-
They don't have any off switch bottons....As long as the Sun is hitting its Solar Panels,it will last :)

What happens if you can't get her out? Will you just switch off your monitors and forget about her?

Answer from Mars Exploration Rover project scientist, John Callas:
"No. First of all, the rovers cannot be switched off. If Spirit is immobile at her current location, she can operate as a fixed lander and conduct significant lander science for a year or more, collecting contact science with the robotic arm, perform atmospheric measurements and weather observations, and search for Mars quakes, among many other science activities."
