A mission that was supposed to last no more than six months, the twin rovers are now celebrating their 5th year on Mars. Innovation, excellent engineering and incredible scientific results are the legacy of Spirit and Opportunity.
The Mars Exploration Rovers "Spirit" and "Opportunity" were sent to Mars for what was planned to be a 90 day mission. 5 years later they are still roving the surface of Mars, making new discoveries almost every day.
