I read somewhere (JPL website I ithink) that the major problem with the rovers lifespan was dust gathering on the solar panels.
I couldn't find any other info and I looked cos this seems like a trivial and surmountable issue.
Obviously it's not but why? Any ideas.
Seems like a waste of resources to allow it/them to succumb to the effects of poor housekeeping.
