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.
