"Now have the Opportunity died."

"in the Year 2004 landed Nasa landfarkost Opportunity on Mars."

"During the 14 years of time, continued to move between the different craters and places on the planet and Opportunity sent both valuable data such as pictures back to earth."

"Last attempt to contact."

"But in June there occurred a storm on Mars and Nasa lost the contact with the Opportunity, whose solar panels were covered by dust in the storm."

"It is unclear whether it is due to the dust on the solar cells, or if any part of the Opportunity was broken in the storm, but Nasa has not been able to get in touch with landfarkosten since then."

"During the Tuesday, Nasa a last attempt to reach the Opportunity, but to get in touch."

" It was an incredibly depressing moment. We just waited for the inevitable, " says Tanya Harrisson, who worked with the mission, according to the New York Times."
