    it landed on mars, took soil samples and pics, completed its mission, and then "died" due to lack of sunlight to power its solar cells.

    overall a successful mission.

    it lasted longer than it was supposed to, under far worse conditions than the small rovers were under; it was powered down and will attempt to power back up in the Martian spring. If successful, we may get a signal from it complaining "I'm bored".

    It's "chilling out" on the northern plains of Mars.

    The winter on Mars killed it off.

    Damn shame...
