Default Spirit and Opportunity...
NASA's Spirit rover stopped transmitting data from Mars for more than 24 hours, mission managers said Thursday, calling it an "extremely serious anomaly."

Hopefully they will update the site with better news today...

But it's still the latest on the site. So technically I'm right. Mostly I put it up cause neither the Yahoo or CNN articles mentioned this...

"Project managers have not yet determined the cause, but similar events occurred several times during the Mars Pathfinder mission."

What an insightful and mature comment... :roll:

Anyway, I hope the lack of press releases today does not mean it's worse then they expected...

What is the latest with Opportunity???

I'll answer my own question:

OPPORTUNITY UPDATE:
Plans for Opportunity's entry, descent, and landing are also underway. The spacecraft is on a correct course for its landing Saturday night, around 9:05 pm PST (Sunday, 5:05 am UTC).
