This has been a tough week for NASA's robotic explorers on Mars. The agency declared the Phoenix Mars Lander mission over after dust storms and oncoming winter robbed the probe of its power. A major dust storm also struck the rover, Spirit, cutting off communications. Contact with Spirit has since been restored, but dust still rests on its solar power arrays, and the future of the mission is yet in doubt.
The other Mars rover, Opportunity, is still going strong, jowever.
