In this episode of Orbital News, Alex shares the story of the Opportunity rover that is attempting to survive yet another massive dust storm in it's 15 years on the Red Planet. We cover info on the storm itself and the concerns for Opportunity as it waits in low power until the storm subsides to charge it's batteries and survive the cold temperatures that probably put it's twin, Spirit, offline. Learn about the amazing martian versatile rover and the most severe optical dust storm ever observed on the planet by robotic human emissaries.
