If the robot is in a dust storm I would think they would shut it down and wait for the storm to pass. Hopefully it will no gert burried like in the Movie "The Martian" As long as it has battery life and access to the sun it should come back to running.

Not anxious, but glad it's lasted this long ... Opportunity's surpassed its anticipated mission life by what, 14 years or so?

I just hope it is not getting buried. It could work again once the light is turned on again.

It's a pretty bad dust storm, maybe it hasn't died down enough to get a signal through.

Yup. Hopefully, it'll fire back up soon...

Hasn't it already lasted longer than expected? If it's dead, be thankful for the fact it did so much.

Not anxious, because things happen, but I do hope it will be able to function soon!

Posted by starwatcher-alI missed the early phases of the eclipse but the clouds mostly left during totality. All in all a great eclipse. Next one is Nov. 8-22
