About Mars rover Opportunity
Mars rover Opportunity was sent up on a mission to the desolate planet on July 7, 2003 – its mission being discovering water and signs of life. It reached Mars on January 25, 2004, and was meant to last only for 90 days. To everyone’s shock, it lasted for 15 years and carried on its mission throughout. Opportunity reached its end during a global dust storm that swept across Mars in June 2018. The dust covered the solar panels that was meant to sustain its battery. The Opportunity’s famous last words were, “My battery is low and it’s getting dark.”
As per a recent press release, players can control Oppy as it embarks onThe official Shiro Unlimited website states that the journey takes place after it loses contact with Earth in 2018. It imagines the robot as marooned, but functioning independently. However, you will need to recover various skill modules so that Oppy survives against Mars’s harsh weather conditions. You can scan for remains of Oppy’s predecessors to be more tough.
