NASA announced yesterday it is abandoning attempts to free its Mars rover Spirit from the deep sand that has held Spirit fast for several months. The goal will now be to get Spirit's solar panels positioned so that they will take in the maximum amount of solar energy.
With that energy, Spirit will continue to collect data within the reach of its instruments. The stationary phase of this remarkable mission could last months, or even years.
