Life Support
With Spirit now at more than twice its planned life expectancy and Opportunity weeks from that mark, NASA is having to plan how to keep things going on Earth to support the rovers that are still going on Mars. Funding for the program ends in September, since nobody ever thought the rovers would keep functioning into FY05. Also, the rovers are schedule to undergo six-months-or-one-mile maintenance soon.
