Datebook: June 10 - Mars Spirit Rover Launches 10 Years Ago

The Spirit Rover's mission was to explore surface features and analyze rocks for 90 days, but it actually functioned 20 times longer than expected. In 2009, it became stuck in soil and its last communication was sent in 2010. Maybe someday we'll find it, dust it off, and power it back up.

It’s Monday, June 10
