G+_George Kozi Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Isn't it interesting how they put all sorts of sophisticated stuff on that thing, but nobody thought of putting a brush on it, and make it clean its solar panels... Originally shared by NASA Mars Rover Selfie! A self-portrait of our Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity taken in late March 2014 (right) shows that much of the dust on the rover's solar arrays has been removed by wind since a similar portrait from January 2014 (left). Cleaning effects boosted the amount of electricity available for the rover's work.
