Talk:Opportunity (rover)

message: I assembled a table which contains the information about the current energy level, tau and dust factor, odometry and some other information about every sol. I share this table, editable for everyone.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HgO7q0ggPc75EcLVCexGnAhro5vmBFX3K2JZn1vhy0Q/edit?usp=sharing
The table contains the following:
- The sols until 4957
- The watt-hours per sol as reported in the weekly MER report (https://mars.nasa.gov/mer/mission/status_opportunityAll.html)
- Also the tau factor and dust factor
- And the odometry 
- In the column "Cleaning event" I marked the sols, which were reported that a cleaning event happend. 
- The columns "Start site", "L sub S", "UTC at local noon" and activity I took from the Analyst's Notebook. (But only to Sol 4680).
I think it will be useful to keep the "power" section of this article up to date.
If someone has information about the energy levels from the beginning of the mission please let me know.

thread_title:  Sol for Sol statistics 

message: Since the rover keeps silent under the sunshine, the best scenario is that some dust did cover the solar panels after all: . NASA hoping for wind now. -Rowan Forest (talk)

message: FWIW - the very latest attempt to waken the Opportunity rover has just been reported (06:45pm/et/usa; 15 November 2018) - hope this helps in some way - iac - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 00:07, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Attempts to waken [[Opportunity (rover)|Opportunity]] 

message: With the mission over, we should still be referring the rover itself in the present tense, it still exists (as best we know), just simply dead to any attempts to wake it. The mission is over, so its activities and the like can be declared past tense. --Masem (t) 22:48, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tense 

message: The 3rd para in this section starts 'More than 835 recovery commands were transmitted over the next 11 days, and over 1000 in the coming months, but no response was heard' - now since the last date mentioned in the text before this sentence is the 12th February 2019 and 11 days have not yet elapsed since that time, this cannot be correct, never mind '1000 more over the coming months'. Can someone who knows the story timeline set this straight? thanks Geopersona (talk) 20:16, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: NASA's blogs are clear that it was 835 commands from June 2018 to around the end of January 2019, and 1000 before they called it. --Masem (t) 20:23, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  End of mission 

message: Should we mention the rover's nickname, "Oppy," somewhere in the article? It seems to have become popular with the general public. The mention doesn't have to be front and center, necessarily. Marisauna (talk) 00:28, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
